Neil Murray was born in Ararat in 1956 and grew up on a farm near Lake Bolac in the western district of Victoria. He studied Art in Ballarat and Melbourne and by 1976 he was writing songs and poems. After teaching briefly in Robinvale, he moved to the Northern Territory in 1980 to become an outstation worker at Papunya - an Aboriginal community in Central Australia and it was there the Warumpi Band was formed. The Warumpi Band toured widely over two decades and released three albums: Big Name No Blankets (1985), Go Bush (1987) and Too Much Humbug (1996) and were outstanding pioneers of contemporary indigenous music.

The story behind 'My Island Home' is that it was written by a white man for a black man and the black man sang it like it was his own. That doesn't sound like much but in the context of Australian history it represents the crossing of a mighty gulf. Aboriginal people sing 'My Island Home' like it's theirs. White people sing it like it's theirs. People in Australia who have come from other countries, other cultures, sing 'My Island Home' like it's theirs. That's what makes it such a great song.
Neil Murray in a delicate situation under a raw red moon leaves us to judge. I like his gestural quality, indicitative of wide open spaces, there's often a sense of one world confounded by another, as in 'baby shark time', or a brief glimpse through a doorway which opens between worlds, then closes again, 'the language of the eyes'. Images are surreptitious, coming out of people's relationships with one another, none of that solipsist hippy hiker here, great stories nicely phrased. And he tells us something of his own in stripped down lines which carry their freight of emotion with ease. You can see him coming a long way this one. You wouldn't put him in a boxing tent, you'd have to put him in a band.(Eric Beach)
