James Reyne and Ella Hooper have joined forces to record Reyne’s 1992 hit with James Blundell, 'Way Out West', the song originally released by The Dingoes back in 1973.
Hooper explains, “When James came to me with this idea – I was like – hell yeah! I’ve always adored that song, it’s got such a lovely, laconic feel to it and it’s such a unique Australian song too.
