MOON CALLER combines Penny Davies' moving vocals with Roger Ilott's artistry on acoustic and electric guitars, and features the duo's son Jordan on drums along with Roger's 1970's Rusty Dusty Bros. band mate Jed Hudson on bass, creating a strong rhythmic feel throughout – folk-rock at its absolute best.
MOON CALLER blasts off with She's Like A Tree, a song for a fabulous friend, Aurelia is Penny's story of emigrating from England by ship at age 14 and Four Horsemen gives a reggae twist to the Ned Kelly tale by Aussie poet Edward Dyson.
The Circle Game, by Joni Mitchell, is beautifully sung by Penny with a gorgeous acoustic arrangement with touches of Rickenbacker by Roger. Crazy Weather gives us a view of our planet from above – and tells us it's time to act. On O'Mara's Front Verandah we look down at a small town with affection, and The Goldfield, by Bill Scott, with music by Roger, shows us nature's healing power over the scars human beings often cause.
Wet Season Blues is a quirky traditional song from the north of Australia , done in 1930's swing style, while Song Of The Artesian Water , by Banjo Paterson, is given a powerful, yet restrained treatment which underpins the urgency of the lyrics.
Pte. Herbert Thomas Scard tells the tragic tale of Roger's uncle who went to war at 16. Must Have Been The Moon is a song from Roger & bass player Jed Hudson's 1970's band Rusty Dusty Bros, with a fabulous, danceable arrangement from the whole crew.
Armstrong is the story of the unifying power of the first moon landing – sadly so short-lived, while Goodbye To Your Schooldays is about a journey just as important – the journey into adulthood and in Peaceful, by Josh Bogin, we experience the power of song to give us peace in our harried lives.
MOON CALLER features songs about people, climate, greed, the price of war, human achievement and human frailty, the lessons of history, bushrangers, growing up and growing older. The moon is a strong symbol throughout the album - with its focus on the mysteries and the tides of human life on this planet.
MOON CALLER is a stunning success and deserves an honoured place in the music collection of devotees of music throughout the country.

Tracks:  She's Like A Tree, Aurelia, Four Horsemen, The Circle Game, Crazy Weather, O'Mara's Front Verandah, The Goldfield, Wet Season Blues, Song Of The Artesian Water, Pte. Herbert Thomas Scard, Must Have Been The Moon, Armstrong, Goodbye To Your Schooldays, Peaceful, Storm King Jam.
