About Simon Orton
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My father helping me write my first song at 12 years of age. It was a lullaby song created to sooth my little brother who was experiencing pain.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Johnny Cash, The Essential Johnny Cash Keith Urban, Ripcord Paul Kelly, Paul Kelly's Christmas Train (2023 Edition) Ripcord is beautifully curated, raw and made so much sense at the time of release. Johnny cash is just johnny - telling it like it is. Paul Kelly is the ultimate story teller and can bring any Christmas to life
