Troy Cassar-Daley Announces New Album 'Between The Fires' & 2024 Australian Tour

Australian country music icon Troy Cassar-Daley has announced a triple header of news today: details of a new album, releasing a new single and revealing a 2024 Australian tour.

His 12th album, Between The Fires, will be released via Sony Music Australia on Friday, 10 May. To kick off the album campaign, the Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung man has unveiled the single Let’s Ride.

Starring guest vocalist and Australian country music royalty Kasey Chambers, Let’s Ride is a slice of sublime Australiana that nods to Cassar-Daley’s love for cars and yearning to be free, travelling on the wide-open road. Cassar-Daley premiered the song at the 2024 Golden Guitar Awards. You can listen to Let’s Ride below.

In addition to announcing Between The Fires and sharing Let’s Ride, Cassar-Daley has revealed an expansive 33-date tour of Australia from May through to November. You can find all the dates below.

Between The Fires has been described as Cassar-Daley’s most personal album to date. He found inspiration on his late Mum’s property at Halfway Creek near Grafton, NSW, where he wrote what would become Between The Fires. In a statement, Cassar-Daley explained:

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.

Between The Fires is available to pre-order here. You can find early bird tickets to the tour in support of the album here after 11 am AEDT.
