LEE KERNAGHAN:
I don't remember
when the music started.
4
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,085
What the land is to a farmer,
5
00:02:03,753 --> 00:02:05,755
that's what music's been to me.
6
00:02:07,507 --> 00:02:09,259
They've both just been there.
7
00:02:12,095 --> 00:02:14,306
And music is like the land.
8
00:02:15,557 --> 00:02:17,434
Once it gets in your blood,
9
00:02:17,434 --> 00:02:20,478
well, it wraps itself
around your heart,
10
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,940
shapes your life.
11
00:02:27,527 --> 00:02:30,697
It doesn't matter
how many times you do it.
12
00:02:30,697 --> 00:02:33,116
You walk out onto that stage
13
00:02:34,117 --> 00:02:36,244
you're stepping into the unknown.
14
00:03:00,602 --> 00:03:03,980
I've always believed
being a big country fan
15
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:08,026
that if it sounds good,
if it really gets you fired up,
16
00:03:08,026 --> 00:03:10,737
if it puts the goose pimples
up your arms,
17
00:03:10,737 --> 00:03:12,364
or it brings a tear to your eye,
18
00:03:12,364 --> 00:03:15,367
if you've got to play it
over and over and over again,
19
00:03:15,950 --> 00:03:17,660
it's a good chance it's country.
20
00:03:19,954 --> 00:03:22,999
You know, I love to make records,
I really do.
21
00:03:22,999 --> 00:03:25,919
But, um, when I'm out in front
of an audience
22
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,630
and I'm playing,
the connection that you get
23
00:03:29,506 --> 00:03:33,009
between the people and yourself
24
00:03:33,009 --> 00:03:34,928
and the music, it's just...
25
00:03:34,928 --> 00:03:37,472
it's almost like a spiritual thing.
26
00:03:37,472 --> 00:03:41,184
With Lee's music, the thing
that draws us all back to him
27
00:03:41,184 --> 00:03:43,603
is the fact that it feels like
he's telling stories
28
00:03:43,603 --> 00:03:45,146
about our friends and family.
29
00:03:46,064 --> 00:03:49,651
It feels like he's been a part
of our family for what, 30 years?
30
00:03:51,653 --> 00:03:54,781
Those people, country people
and what they go through,
31
00:03:54,781 --> 00:03:57,575
even today with the bushfires
and the flooding,
32
00:03:57,575 --> 00:04:00,453
they are a huge inspiration to me.
33
00:04:00,453 --> 00:04:02,080
When he's talking about
some of the bush life,
34
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,748
that's what it's like, it really is.
35
00:04:03,748 --> 00:04:07,377
And that's so honest and open
and it's something that people
36
00:04:07,377 --> 00:04:10,088
need to hear and take on board.
37
00:04:12,465 --> 00:04:14,717
This next bloke,
he's a new country music star
38
00:04:14,717 --> 00:04:16,261

39
00:04:16,261 --> 00:04:17,637

what it feels like?
44
00:04:26,896 --> 00:04:28,440
It's like... (LAUGHS)
45
00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:31,025
I don't know if this is
appropriate or not
46
00:04:31,025 --> 00:04:33,069
but it's like you've just, uh...
47
00:04:33,069 --> 00:04:35,947
fooled around with the most
beautiful woman in the world
48
00:04:35,947 --> 00:04:37,490

49
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:39,242

country music.

as the music of our country.

LEE: I was born
in the High Country.
130
00:10:26,464 --> 00:10:30,343
On Mum's side, the family line
goes back to the Maddisons,
131
00:10:30,343 --> 00:10:34,138
pioneers who ran cattle
across these plains.
132
00:10:35,097 --> 00:10:37,058
It's a powerful place,
133
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,769
full of old stories.
134
00:10:43,147 --> 00:10:45,900
Mum's people were dairy farmers.
135
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:48,444
My father came from a droving family.
136
00:10:51,864 --> 00:10:55,076
When they built
the Snowy Hydro Scheme,
137
00:10:56,452 --> 00:11:00,915
Dad used to drive trucks,
working day and night
138
00:11:00,915 --> 00:11:04,460
carting rubble down the steep,
narrow tracks.
139
00:11:13,386 --> 00:11:15,763
Dad taught me about mountains.

making its way down
and rolling across the land.
145
00:11:35,950 --> 00:11:37,702
But it all started here
146
00:11:38,411 --> 00:11:39,954
in the High Country.
147
00:11:44,917 --> 00:11:47,837
I was really lucky to grow
up in a musical family
148
00:11:47,837 --> 00:11:53,426
and whenever there was a wedding,
an anniversary or a divorce...

00:11:59,015 --> 00:12:02,351

revolve around, you know,

the piano and the guitars
and us singing some songs.

out on the road with Dad.

for a heck of a lot of Australians.
534
00:41:46,133 --> 00:41:48,678
We've been talking this evening
about country life
535
00:41:48,678 --> 00:41:51,555
and the different meaning it takes on
for different people.
536
00:41:51,555 --> 00:41:53,391
So who better to talk about it
537
00:41:53,391 --> 00:41:55,976
than the singing bush boy himself,
Lee Kernaghan?
538
00:41:55,976 --> 00:41:57,603
- Lee, good to see you.
- G'day, George.
539
00:41:57,603 --> 00:41:59,397
What is it about the bush for you?
540
00:41:59,897 --> 00:42:02,233
Well, I love being around the people.
541
00:42:02,233 --> 00:42:07,071
Um, it's... it's laid back, it's real,
it's fair dinkum.
542
00:42:08,072 --> 00:42:12,910
There's a sense of freedom
in the bush which I love.
543
00:42:12,910 --> 00:42:14,829
How are people in the country
at the moment?
544
00:42:14,829 --> 00:42:16,789
You must be there
most of the time?
545
00:42:16,789 --> 00:42:19,291
I mean, they seem to be hurting
pretty badly at the moment.
546
00:42:19,792 --> 00:42:23,212
Everybody knows that, you know,
the drought that we've had
547
00:42:23,212 --> 00:42:27,216
has been one of the toughest
in the history of our country
548
00:42:27,216 --> 00:42:30,803
and, uh, there's people out there
in western Queensland
549
00:42:30,803 --> 00:42:33,013
and other parts of Australia
550
00:42:33,013 --> 00:42:37,476
that will probably never ever recover
from the loss of stock
551
00:42:37,476 --> 00:42:40,855
and the financial loss
that went with that.
552
00:42:40,855 --> 00:42:42,398
Devastating stuff.
553
00:42:58,873 --> 00:43:03,043
Last year was the worst year
on record for rainfall.
554
00:43:03,043 --> 00:43:05,880
It was half the previous bad year.
555
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:10,342
Extremely dry, yeah.
probably as dry as we've ever had.

00:43:12,511 --> 00:43:14,805

This is another one of those
essential jobs during the drought.

like this sometimes.

The ongoing thing is not to dwell
and get down too much.
572
00:44:13,072 --> 00:44:15,574

from all over to raise funds

and I'm lucky

I've been given a gift

642
00:48:19,443 --> 00:48:21,987
to be able to take these shows
out on the road
643
00:48:21,987 --> 00:48:24,656
and, uh, as long as
there's breath in my body,
644
00:48:24,656 --> 00:48:28,035
I hope to be out there

with these people
and having a go.
