The Whitlams have a brand new Tex-Mex version of their ‘You Sound Like Louis Burdett’.
The original version of ‘You Sound Like Louis Burdett’ was on the band’s third album ‘Eternal Nightcap’. It was the lead single off the album and reached no. 53 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 that year.
This new version of ‘You Sound Like Louis Burdett’ was recorded at the Princess Theatre in Brisbane on 1 April 2023.
Louis Burdett is a real person. He lived in the Sydney suburb of Tempe and The Whitlams’ Tim Freedman shared a house with him. The song explores the theme of addiction which Burdett suffered from.
The players for The Whitlams Black Stump Band are Piano, vocals – Tim Freedman, Electric guitar – Ollie Thorpe, Acoustic Guitar – Rod McCormack, Bass – Matt Fell, Drums – Terepai Richmond,
