Brian Young - Song Of Maytown. (1982)

Australian country music singer/songwriter Brian Young recorded "Song Of Maytown" for his album titled "Pull Up A Stump" that was recorded on the 27th and 28th of September 1982, and released on the Opal Label ( OLLP 521 ). The song was written by Brian Young and is about the ghost town of Maytown located in Far North Queensland, Australia. Located in the Palmer River Goldfields in the Cape York Peninsula, Maytown once had a population of 20,000 people in the late 1800's and was the main town of the Palmer River Goldfields. Just like most gold mining towns, once the gold was gone so were the people. Little remains today of a once bustling town, just numerous rusting relics and the scattered remains of foundations of buildings that once made up the town which amongst many businesses included 12 Hotels, a Bakery and Post Office to name a few. Brian Young released a number of albums from the 1960s though to the 1990's. In 1954 at the age of 18 he became the World Champion Bull Rider. He toured constantly with his travelling variety show throughout the outback of Australia taking his show where many other performers would not. He would become the last of the great Australian travelling country music showmen, an era that began in the late 1930's and early 1940's here in Australia with the Tex Morton and Buddy Williams travelling tent shows and rodeos.
