Background and release


In 1970, Williamson entered New Faces, an Australian talent show, with the self-penned track "Old Man Emu". Williamson won the contest and signed with the newly formed label Fable Records. "Old Man Emu" was released in May 1970 which peaked at number 4 on the Kent Music Report and was certified gold in Australia. Williamson released his debut studio album in 1970 but failed to chart. He released four non-charting solo singles between 1970 and 1972.[1]
