One of Australia’s greatest storytellers and proud Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung man, Troy Cassar-Daley, has today announced the upcoming release of his 12th studio album Between The Fires, available May 10th.

LISTEN TO ‘LET’S RIDE’ HERE AND PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM BETWEEN THE FIRES NOW

Between The Fires is Troy’s most personal record to date, shedding light on what has been a challenging couple of years for the beloved Australian musician. Troy found himself at a crossroads with his career and self following the loss of both of his parents, most recently his mother. Alone, with only a guitar and a campfire, Troy retreated to his late Mum’s property at Halfway Creek near Grafton NSW to write what would become Between The Fires.

Troy shares “ The new album was recorded at my Late Mum’s old place at Halfway Creek and is incredibly special on many levels. It’s the place I moved to when my Nan Daley died in 1979 and where I lived for many years. The reason I wanted to record there was that after losing Mum and going back with a very heavy heart, I started to write songs. I started to feel that this was the centre of my musical universe again, just like it was growing up. I came to realise that I still have music in me. All I had to do was return to the well and that record collection in our old house on beautiful Gumbaynggirr country which soothed me during my sorry business. I want this album to reflect that there isn’t a more powerful place in the world than a childhood home. To know Mum was there in spirit to help guide this record was a true gift. Thanks, Troy.”

The first single lifted from the upcoming release is ‘Let’s Ride’, out today. Featuring the vocals of Kasey Chambers alongside Cassar-Daley, ‘Let’s Ride’ is nod to  Troy’s love of cars and desire to set free on the open road. The single takes listeners on a journey of escapism and freedom, with the warmth and familiarity of Troy’s vocals anchoring every moment of the song. Troy recently previewed ‘ Let’s Ride’ at the recent 52nd Annual Golden Guitar Awards.

Troy will embark on a 33-date tour from May through to November, bringing the stories and sounds of Between The Fires to audiences across the country. Tickets are now on-sale at www.troycassardaley.com.au
