Raining on the Rock

"Raining on the Rock" is a song written and performed by Australian singer-songwriter John Williamson.

[1] The song was released in January 1987 as the second single from Williamson's sixth studio album Mallee Boy.

I'm not necessarily the most proud of it but it's a song that probably means a lot to me because it's about the heart of the country and I think the rock represents that.

"[2] In 2014, Chris Johnston from Sydney Morning Herald called "Raining on the Rock" one of the best songs on John Williamson's best albums.

[7] At the 1998 National Indigenous Music Awards, the song won Single Release of the Year.
