“The unmistakeable voice of Australian outlaw Cosmic Country is back with a new soundtrack to your lazy afternoons.” (Four stars) Jo Roberts – Rhythms Magazine
Following the release of his 2023 ARIA & AIR Award-nominated album South Of Everywhere, HENRY WAGONS today returns with his highly-anticipated fourth solo album, The Four Seasons.
.
.
This new album sees Henry span and stretch the boundaries of modern twang once again, but this time with a Morricone-inspired 60’s golden era, all within a cozy and hypnotic Sunday afternoon bubble. Like the seasons themselves, this album pushes and tickles the genre limits, from classic 60s country, through to songs with a modern indie twist, all glued together with four Morricone-inspired instrumentals that track the weather patterns. Also, listen out for some amazing moments in which Henry duets with singer for the Gods and creative-dynamo, Queenie.
After receiving great support from Community Radio, and high rotation across ABC Country & Australian Country Radio with Wagons’ first single Freight Train (Going South), this time Henry and Queenie join forces on second single, Open The Door. Together their voices bend and soar like a buckling iron suspension bridge, under the weight of forbidden love! This song is a cross between the forceful and graceful guitars of Crazy Horse, a 60s echoey garage and a Nancy and Lee duel.
Of the album, Henry says; “This record was so liberating to make for me. I held no thought back. It’s me at my most creatively free. I didn’t consciously try to stick to expectations or genre… I just let loose in the studio, and in the end, my twangy explorations, in both lyric-driven song and instrumental, landed in a cohesive mega-yacht ride. It’s an album to sink into the armchair, along with your favourite beverage and listen out for the surprises while you drift away.”
Produced by Henry Wagons himself at Trentwood Studios, Henry also played the majority of the instruments on the record aside from Brass (Liam McGorry), Pedal Steel (Matt Kelly of City and Colour), and Keys (Lachlan Bryan).

Following his two upcoming performances at this year’s GYMPIE MUSTER, Henry Wagons is set to bring his latest album, “The Four Seasons,” to life in two exclusive album launch shows this November. Joined by his band, The Only Children, Henry will be fresh off a large tour through the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Experience these cinematic tunes from his brand new modern Morricone-esque, outlaw masterwork live, in full technicolour glory, at two of Henry’s favorite venues: The Northcote Social Club and The Lansdowne Hotel.
Expect a mix of much-loved gems and new songs interweaved, in what promises to be a spectacular finale for the year. Don’t miss out on these unforgettable performances—it’s your last chance to catch Henry live this year!

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
