The Apple Don't Fall Far from the Tree

The Apple Don't Fall Far from the Tree is a collaborative album by Australian singer-songwriter Lo Carmen and her father Peter Head.

It was recorded at Linear Studios over three days in Sydney by Chris Vallejo and Wade Keighran.

The album is a mix of originals and covers of songs by Tom Waits, Peggy Lee, Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline, described by The Australian as 'a charming smoky blues romp driven by Head's bar-room piano'[1] and 'an endearing mix of country soul and late night jazz...high on smoky atmosphere' by The Music.

Original duet 'Old Hands' explores the life of a musician, 'digging graves and waiting tables to make ends meet' and features a humorous music video by photographer Andrew Cowen[2] featuring actors Terry Serio and Gary Waddell.
