 
To discerning fans of Australian music, the work of Tex Perkins holds pride of place. In the popularity stakes, there have been number one albums, ARIA Awards aplenty, and a litany of unforgettable live performances that are the stuff of local rock & roll folklore. More recently, beyond the rebel rousing status earned from fronting seminal outfits such as 'The Cruel Sea' and 'The Beasts Of Bourbon', Tex's solo records have revealed a more intimate side of the artist: That of an emotive singer/songwriter, an acoustic guitar strumming balladeer with a voice that delivers its message in a whisper rather than a roar. <p> And now, 'Sweet Nothing'. On the creative side of things, Tex has changed everything with 'Sweet Nothing', moved, as the artists puts it himself, from "portraiture to landscape". "To me, this isn't another journey to the interior, this feels like ... standing on the outside ... looking out". Songs come across like dreams, somek signals from the subconcious. But their sound, you'll soon discover for yourself, is as broad and textured as the outback.
