TC Cassidy is the queen of the comeback. In 2022 her album “Travelling Heart” garnered a Golden Guitar nomination for Traditional Album of The Year, a hotly contested category. The last time she received a nomination was for her singular prior release, her debut self-titled album, released via Festival Records way back in 1995.
Her fourth single from “Travelling Heart” is the timely release “April Fools”. It is a twisted and eerie take on Americana featuring the king of the strings, the patriarch of Alt. Country, Bill Chambers. When approached to work with TC, the country icon jumped at the chance to collaborate.
“It was an honour … a great song that showcases TC’s awesome vocals,” says Bill. Respect is a two-way street, with TC thrilled to have Bill featured on the track. “He suits it so well; I’m so lucky to have Bill on it,” she says.
“April Fools” is TC Cassidy’s fourth single from the album that picked up straight where she left off, thirty years after her first. Produced by multiple-time Golden Guitar nominee Angus Gill and rolling out track after track of honest and heartfelt country music that only someone who has experienced a life rich with experience can convey.
“April Fools” is a standout single, lush with expert blues guitars and telling a story of intrigue and mystery. Perfectly timed to coincide with the day itself, April 1st.
TC’s album “Travelling Heart” was recorded in Nashville & NSW, combining efforts across the sea and utilising the many talented friends she has picked up along the way of her expansive journey, including collaborations with Gina Jeffreys, Adam Harvey, Beccy Cole, James Blundell, & Anne Kirkpatrick.
TC Cassidy may be the comeback queen, but she is well on her way to carving out a kingdom all of her own, and “April Fools” may just be her crowning moment. No joke.
