On the 1986 album Can't Stop Yodelling, Mary Schneider covered the song "Range in the Western Sky", written and originally recorded by fellow Australian Smoky Dawson. However, I can't find the original release. Doing some searching I have narrowed down the label and approximate time period though. The song appears on a compilation album subtitled Complete Regal Zonophone Collection, and it appears he moved to a different label around 1955, so I'm assuming it's from 1954 or earlier.

I entered the original release:

The Range in the Western Sky

I will work on it some more in order to find a more precise release date and label images. In the meantime, you could go ahead and enter the performance.
