Songs By Awesome Aussie Female Singers, Vol. 2

As I mentioned yesterday, I've always had a strong affinity for Australian female singers. Indeed, many of my all-time favorite female singers hail from Down Under. Yesterday, I posted 20 songs by well-known and lesser-known Aussie ladies. But those weren't the only ones I wanted to post. So here's another 20. (There won't be a Volume 3.) Hope you'll enjoy these as much as or more than yesterday's batch.  ~  JH

"Blue" Songs

This is part 5 of 7 in a series of Songs With Colors In The Titles. There are a good number of songs with "Blue" in the title, but almost two years ago – in my early days of blogging – I did a post of songs with the word "Blue" (just that, no other words) as the title, and I really didn't want to re-post any of those songs. So, here ya go – no repeats! Still some really good ones here. Enjoy?  ~  JH
