About this album

Straight As A Die is a tough, road-tested blues-rock statement from Matt Taylor, a key figure in Australian rock. Issued in 1973, it draws on the gritty energy of the era’s electric blues while keeping Taylor’s songwriting rooted in local detail and dry wit. Songs such as Brisbane To Beechworth, Mother Nature and Hall Of Fame show his knack for turning plainspoken narratives into something forceful and memorable. Blending rock drive with blues feeling, the album helped define Taylor’s reputation as a distinctive Australian voice, equally at home in muscular guitar passages and tightly written, characterful songs.
