Araluen, the latest album by Ned Kelly and His Band, is a masterpiece of Australian folk music. The album features 12 tracks, each one telling a story of love, loss, and the beauty of the Australian landscape.

The album opens with the title track, Araluen, a haunting ballad about a lost love. The track sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its beautiful harmonies and soulful lyrics.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Ballad of Joe Byrne," a tribute to the infamous Australian outlaw. The song tells the story of Byrne's life and death, and the band's performance is both powerful and emotional.
