James Reyne and Ella Hooper have joined forces to record Reyne’s 1992 hit with James Blundell, Way Out West, the song originally released by The Dingoes back in 1973.
Ella Hooper explains, “When James came to me with this idea – I was like – hell yeah! I’ve always adored that song, it’s got such a lovely, laconic feel to it and it’s such a unique Australian song too. I used to belt out this song growing up in the country, it’s a dream to be doing it for real with James! It definitely deserves another spin!”
The single is available to pre-save / pre-add HERE and is released April 21.
Reyne and Hooper will take their new version of Way Out West on the road from May through to August this year with a massive run of dates weaving right across the country.
