about

hac114 / bub03

Home Of The Big Regret is a bluegrass/country-pop album with no electric guitar or keyboards. It was recorded between July and November 2004 with the help of some of Australia's finest bluegrass musicians - Jenny Shimmin on banjo, Mick Moffitt on mandolin, the Lynch Mob from Cowra with Bill Gibson on bass and Danny "Mr Bungle" Heifetz on drums. John Encarnacao scored string arrangements for every song on the album which was played by members of the SSO. Other guests include Marcus Amann, Darren Hanlon, Ben Pettit, Tom Morgan and Leticia Nischang. Released August 2005.

For five years, Nic Dalton lived on a farm at the outskirts of Morongla, population 40, in central-west NSW. It was a regular occurrence, on the way to Sydney, to drive through Goulburn, Home Of The Big Merino. When his long-time girlfriend, Lucy Lehmann, left him, he declared Morongla ‘Home of the Big Regret’ and changed the sign to 'Pop. 39'. Nic had always planned to record his second solo album (his first was the 1998 release, Romolo, a collection of
four-tracks from 1986-88) before his fortieth birthday.

"At the beginning of 2004, when I started to list all the songs I wanted to record, it dawned on me that half of them were either written by Lucy, or co-written, with her. We'd broken up the year before but had remained long-distance friends. It was looking like this album was about our relationship - a break-up album. So I called Lucy and told her this. We wrote a few more songs together to bring the concept to a full realisation."
