Aly Cook is a Baby Boomer singer from New Zealand who was supposed to be touring Australia with her new single, “Cold Wind.” But even though COVID put a stop to her tour, she went ahead with her release anyway.
Watch her video below. It was filmed in the majestic East Mac Donnell Ranges near Ross River Resort. I was a little afraid the wind would send her over the cliff but luckily it didn’t.
This is her 4th single which was released from her critically acclaimed album Caught in the Middle. It hit #1 in the Australian community radio and appeared in both the ARIA and NZ Album mainstream charts.
The song was written by Kay Bidstrup from GANGgajang after suddenly losing a friend.
I found the song to be haunting and Aly Cook has a beautiful and soulful voice. The piano was supplied by Rick Melick and backup vocals from Cook, Graham “Buzz” Bidstrup, Kay Bidstrup, and artist Lea Capelli known as L’freaq.

We all need entertainment and inspiration these days and music by artists of our generation are still valid and well worth listening to. Enjoy!
Beautiful, soulful voice. At least she’s from New Zealand, which has done a great job with Covid. Wish her the best!
You’re so right about New Zealand and COVID, Laurie. Glad you liked it.
Thank you Laurie.. Yes we went early and hard and it was hard 4 weeks of only leaving your house for food dr or chemist BUT now we live a relatively normal life only Kiwis are able to come in and we are quarantining them at the border but its life as usual here apart from there being far less tourists . Its tough on the economy but as our PM says we can rebuild the econonmy and bring it back but we can’t bring people back x
