About this album

Five Times The Sun finds The Dingoes balancing hard-edged pub-rock energy with country-rock detail, giving the album a distinctive Australian identity. Issued in 1977, it builds on the band’s knack for plainspoken storytelling, tight harmonies and rootsy guitar work, moving easily between swagger, reflection and road-worn momentum. The record’s blend of blues rock and country rock helped mark The Dingoes out from their contemporaries, with songs such as Smooth Sailing, Shine A Light and Way Out West showing their feel for melody as well as muscle. It remains a strong example of late-1970s Australian rock with clear American influences.
