A lifetime of music with the Koori King of Country
From a shy 17 year-old singing Sunday school hymns to becoming the 'Koori King of Country', Uncle Roger Knox's journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
For over three decades, he's been a voice and vessel for Indigenous stories, his serpent-painted guitar carrying the weight of cultural memory through songs soaked in country and soul.
As Uncle Roger tours his powerful new album Buluunarbi and The Old North Star, he visits the Radio National studios to perform from live.
Plus for Word Up, Aunty Joan Ashburton introduces us to her friend and Kurrama Elder Sandra Haigh, together they share a word for a special place in the Pilbara.
