The cream of country musicians in Tamworth worked
on "True to Country".
He was able to work with the four times TIARA award winners Pam and Kevin of
the Spencer Band. They won the best female artist, best male artist, best
song and best group in the 1999 Taira awards. Neville can say that he works
with the best because he worked with them before they achieved this
recognition. Unfortunately, they are no longer playing as a group.

Brett Dallas, one of the talented Dallas family,
renowned country musicians played lead guitar and acoustic guitar. Brett
also has an album out called "That's My Love" . The wonderful
pedal steel guitar on "True to Country"
was played by Mick Wilson from Tasmania. A new talent on the album is Rusty
Crook a young lead player out of Tamworth that has the world at his feet.
Rob Brown plays bass, Dallas Southam from Hot Diggety lead, Trish Wilson
fiddle, the famous Laurie Minson on Dobro and harmonica and sax is played
beautifully by Laurie Lewis.
This album is his first serious foray into music

released.
