    Pete Cornelius (AUS) - Salty Interview (May 2025)

    Visit: www.salty.com.au Recorded and released May 2025. Salty talks with Pete Cornelius about the highly anticipated and long awaited album SOUTHERN. An Americana delight from the depths of Tasmania. Produced by Matt Fell and Pete Cornelius. With Southern, Pete Cornelius has crafted an album of grit, toughness and beauty. His guitar playing is as lyrical and evocative as his vocal delivery and features as a second “voice” on the record - the two complementing rather than competing with each other in sheer storytelling perfection. Cornelius’ guitar prowess is inescapable throughout SOUTHERN - perhaps even more notable on account of the tasteful, understated restraint that characterises his playing. It’s a perfect companion to the lyrical depth and rich imagery on show - similarly disguised in efficient and economical lines. "SOUTHERN music is renowned for its rawness and down home soul. From the deepest south of Tasmania, Pete Cornelius has revealed himself as the real deal and created an album that showcases an artist at the peak of his powers." Josh Cunningham - 'The Waifs' and Felicity Urquhart. Two great tracks bookend our time spent with Pete. A must listen. Copyright: Salty Dog Productions
