It’s no secret that Troy Cassar-Daley is proud of the land he was born in and – unlike so many others – has had the opportunity to see plenty of it and he intends to see plenty more.

Whether casting a fishing line out on some river or beach, driving down a highway to another gig way out back at a remote station or settlement, heading up to the farm with his own family or down to his Mums, Troy takes genuine pleasure in travelling around the country the he was born in.

But ‘this place’ he writes and sings of in his new single is not just a geographical location, but also a very spiritual and emotional place in which Troy finds himself at 40 years young..

• Troy has won numerous awards including 14 Golden Guitars, 3 ARIAs, 7 Deadlys (Indigenous artist awards) and 4 CMAA Entertainer of the Year awards.
• Achieved the honor of being the most awarded recipient of the Male Artist of the Year in Golden Guitar in history
• Won the 2008 Country Music Association of America Country Music Global Artist Award
• Won the 2008 APRA Country Song of the Year
• Sold almost a quarter of a million albums and has had 16 #1 singles

And with the nominations just announced for the 2010 ARIA Awards we can only hope there’s room on the mantelpiece for Best County Album for which his most recent recording I Love This Place has been nominated.

‘I Love This Place’ cd pro and intimate new video clip is being serviced to national media week commencing Monday October 19th 2009.

G’day all
And welcome to my blog. I have been very slack of late with my site being on the road has been great but I don’t get near a computer very often.

So firstly thanks to all who have seen the show this year the I love this place tour has been such a thrill to take everywhere and we still have some more miles to go next year! So keep and eye on the dates here on my site to see where we head next.

Playing the songs from the new record has been amazing my band Luke Austen (Bass vocals), Vaughan Jones (keys vocals), Mick McCartin (drums vocals) and Scott Hills (drums) have played the songs so well all over the country and made me really proud.

We have tried some new tour cars this year that are made by Hyudai we have loved the Santa-Fe vehicles and we have just found the best touring van in the world the Hyundai I-Max they are both great on fuel and you can stack a heap of gear in them as well!!

All the best to everyone will look forward to seeing you all out on the road. I will be putting up some more new pics this week in the gallery stay tuned.
And big love to all
Troy..

Following today’s ARIA Awards nominees announcement, Managing Director of Liberation Music Warren Costello said he was extremely proud and excited for the Label to represent one of the modern giants of Australian country music in Troy Cassar-Daley.

“With Troy, Michael Gudinski and I have long been admirers and jumped at the chance to release his new album ‘I Love This Place’ and also the bulk of his back catalogue.
We are about to release the title track from the new album which we believe will catapult it into country music folklore. Troy Cassar-Daley himself is simply a unique music talent whose voice transcends not only the country music genre but also Australian boundaries, as evidenced a little over a year ago when he was presented with the 2008 CMA Global Country Artist Award in Nashville.”
