Troy Cassar-Daley and Adam Harvey announce new album and tour collaboration.
28.02.13
The Great Country Songbook – album – to be released June 14th 2013
Followed by a national tour to commence August 1st 2013
Australian country music legends Troy Cassar-Daley and Adam Harvey have joined forces in what is sure to be one of the most exciting country music ventures of the year! Their album The Great Country Songbook – a collection of timeless country music classics, some sung individually and others as duets – will be released on the 14th June. They will then hit the road on a national tour, taking the Great Country Songbook tour across Australia.
Renowned for their showmanship and engaging live performances, Troy and Adam have earned the respect of their peers and the greater entertainment audiences for their superb vocals, quality musicianship, song writing skills and ultimately their individual recorded releases.
Over the years, Troy and Adam have become great friends. Out of that bond – and the odd jam session now and again – came the decision to get together and hit the road at least once a year to perform their favourite country classic tracks for their fans. Not easy when more often as not, they both have their own new releases to promote and their own tours out on the road but somehow they manage to juggle their diaries and dates to make it happen. Although often rivals when it comes to Music industry awards, you only have see Troy and Adam on stage together with their witty banter and genuine admiration for each other’s talent and music to realise their commitment to the country music industry and its fans. You get a real understanding how the friendship has flourished. Once you’ve seen their show, you’d also understand why after being asked by every second person during the after-show signings when they were going to produce an album with all the songs they enjoyed belting out to eager crowds nightly, Troy and Adam decided the time was right now.
The Great Country Songbook features some of the best known tracks, many which the guys have performed numerous times over the years. The result is a lovingly hand-picked bunch of songs, top-heavy with their biggest personal influences: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Hank Williams, Glen Campbell, and Aussie country icon Slim Dusty. Simply, all the songs they both could not live without included on their first ever, highly anticipated combined album. These include Country classics such as Behind Closed Doors, He Stopped Loving Her Today; duets include Seven Spanish Angels, plus a medley of Country gold: Thank God I’m a Country Boy/On The Road Again/Before the Next Teardrop Falls.
This Aussie country coupling proved so synergistically perfect it was only fitting to cut their beloved tracks to an album, and continue touring those songs around the country. The Great Country Songbook In Concert will hit the road in August 2013 – tour dates below.
“The Great Country Songbook” is a career highlight for both Troy Cassar-Daley and Adam Harvey, and will no doubt go down as one of the greatest country albums of our time. The national tour will allow them to once again enthral and entertain audiences with these classic songs.
“The Great Country Songbook” will be released June 14th 2013
The tour dates for Troy and Adam’s “The Great Country Songbook” tour are as follows:

Merry Christmas everyone!
20.12.12
G’day folks,
And welcome to my Christmas news letter.
So much has happened this year it’s hard to mention all the highlights as there are so many.
Firstly where has this year gone? Time flys thats for sure .
I released my Album “Home” and had a lot of work to do before it was even on the shelves.
We had to make a clip for “Country Is ” the first single so it was off the Werris Ck and Tamworth for the day, during that day we shot the album cover as well in front of an old EH Holden! What a great old car.
The we jumped in a Hyundai and headed off on the promo trail with Sarah from my record company Liberation.
We went everywhere the tour was going and more. Right through regional Victoria, right up to Far North Qld and down through the North coast of NSW.
All amazing Country to be in, in fact we have an amazing Country folks we should be really proud of!
So then with “Home” released it was time to rehearse the band for the show and hit the road! The show was such a pleasure to take around and tour, so many people loved the footage that went with the songs and it made everything look great on stage.
Trying to find quality Family time this year was hard, and really had my heart heavy at times to be away, but it’s the only down side to a most amazing job that I have.
I won a Deadly award for Album of the year this year which made me very proud and having my kids Clay and Jem there to share it was amazing.
I want to say thanks to my amazing manager Roxanne Brown for a year of incredible hard work and consistently keeping our lives and careers in order!
My road band and crew Mike, Vaughan, Mik, Simon, Dan and Heath for amazing company and commitment out on the road.
I want to thank all my long term fans and friends who have been there from the start , you have never drifted away just been there all the time in support of my music and me.
To Laurel Clay and Jem
Words can’t describe the love I have for you, thanks for understanding the miles I have to do with my crazy job!!
So Merry Christmas to all and a safe new year , I hope your journey takes you where you want to go and the road is not too rough getting there
Love to all
Troy..
