Greatest Hits by Swanee (MR Records)In the vast music scene of Australia, John Swan – better known as Swanee – is a national treasure – an absolute legend in the melodic rock field whose brilliant career and chart-topping singles have left a decided impact down under. Not as well known here in the States, MR Records has presented a Swanee Greatest Hits compilation that serves as a thrilling introduction to a legacy that spans several decades. 20 dynamic songs, originals and covers – certainly an all-encompassing selection of tunes that melodic rock fans must have in their music collections.
From the grand and glorious rocking introduction of Tough At The Top, Swanee takes you into his amazing world of melodic rock. Fan favorites such as Crazy Dreams, Temporary Heartache, and Lady What’s Your Name are brought to ultra-vivid life for multi-generations to enjoy. Have A Little Faith is another highlight, showing how persuasive Swanee is when it comes to a country rock ditty. Covers such as Fooled Around And Fell In Love and Hold Your Head Up are superbly imaginative as interpreted by the one and only Swanee.
Be sure to listen to the very end for the sweeping and emotional Here’s To You, a grand finale leaving a definitive impression on long time fans and admirers yet to arrive. Thanks to the vibrant Swanee and MR Records for introducing his music to the world once more!
