But on his twelfth album, Between the Fires, Troy finds a new emotional depth on what is his most personal record to date.
Fueled creatively by the heartbreaking loss of his beloved mother and the very real fear of almost losing his marriage, nothing is off limits on this set of powerful tunes that are therapeutic for both him and the listener.
“It’s a very grown-up record,” Troy says. “It ain’t no walk in the park I can tell you!” it’s a ray of light, truth and one I would class as a mourning album for a night time listen.”
Troy was on the Together Alone joint tour with his friend Ian Moss in July 2022 when he found out his mother Irene had passed away in her sleep at her home in Halfway Creek NSW.
The scar tree on the album cover is located at the back of the house – Troy’s old childhood home – giving it major spiritual significance to the musician.
“I was in Western Australia, I couldn’t get on the red eye to get home to everyone, it was complete devastation, stuck in a motel room, never felt so helpless. When I finally got home I had to do all the things you dread: looking at her will, looking at what she planned for her funeral. All this stuff, right down to where she wanted parts of her ashes sprinkled. I was devastated, I went into a big lull for about two months.
“And the sorry business was way too heavy to even pick up a guitar for a while there. I got back to playing a few shows just to get myself through the grief all the while thinking mum would not want me to stop playing music, she absolutely loved what I did for a living, she’d seen that whole dream unfold. The last thing she would want me to do was to stop.
“I lit my first fire back home around then to sit by, to cleanse the house and my broken spirit.”
