Troy Cassar-Daley I Love This Place

Price: $19.95

When Troy Cassar-Daley came up with the title for his new album, I Love This Place, he was thinking more about a state of mind than any place you can find on a map. Much as he loves hanging out with his wife and kids, or throwing a line in on his farm an hour out of Brisbane, the much loved and respected Aussie country musician more wanted to share a blissful time and place in his life. On hitting his milestone 40th birthday, Cassar-Daley realised he was exactly where he wanted to be. “More people should just pull up and smell the roses sometimes.” After six studio albums, 14 Golden Guitars, three ARIAs, countless tours across our wide, brown land and two stints on the top-rating Channel 7 show It Takes Two, Cassar-Daley has good reason to be content. Cassar-Daleyalso co-produced for the first time, with Rod McCormack, and had the luxury of taking a year off touring to craft his songs and with I Love This Place, he further establishes himself as a consummate story-teller and one of this country’s finest and most evocative singer songwriters.
