Hello there, I have decided to get copies of my two very first albums put onto this CD. So, if I sound different and very young, it's because I was at the time of these recordings. I was 19 when I recorded album number two. These earlier recordings were produced by Graeme and John Howie of mainland band, The Howie Brothers. Both recordings feature some top mainland musicians including the late Allen Hawkings. Both these albums were recorded in Victoria, one at Don Frasers Studios in Doncaster and the other at a studio near Northcote in Victoria, seems like a lifetime ago, back in the old days where albums and cassettes were the go.

The Howie Brothers helped me greatly with my career in the music industry so I thought it only fair to re-release these older recordings on CD. I have since gone on to record 22 more CD's including one with my daughter. I would like to get son Luke along with my daughter Anita to record a family CD, so that's next on the agenda. So to all who buy a copy of this CD I hope you enjoy The Early Years.

Also, thank you to Graeme George who owned the hotel in Launceston and Hagley Hotel for sponsoring my first album and believing in me. Thank you also to Jerry Eilander and his love converting these old recordings to CD and the artwork, and of course not forgetting to thank my amazing family who have supported me so much throughout my career. Keeping it country. Your friend Debbie Parry.
