“From the opening acoustic guitar of Floodlights and the warm vocal tone, I was hooked, and by the final track, Strike Out, this is my favourite new album of 2023...This Outsider is more than welcome to sing at my campfire anytime!” TAMWORTH COUNTRY MUSIC CAPITAL NEWS “A tall, lanky, dark-haired, truck-driving, songwriting stranger. It might sound like a country music cliche but that’s a snapshot of the enigmatic and supremely talented Bud Rokesky... Outsider is a very special album, a jaw-dropping debut in many respects and an early contender for one of this year’s best.” RHYTHMS MAGAZINE

“Bud Rokesky will break your soul into a million pieces” (ABC Country)

Produced and recorded by Matt Corby & Alex Henriksson on the NSW North Coast at Corby’s Rainbow Valley Studios, of the album’s title & theme, Bud says “I was always a bit of an outsider. I think that’s one of the more prominent themes on the album – the outsider life and analysing that.”, while the main inspiration of Bud’s lyrics comes from “people and their stories”. From the moving Love My Baby More through to the spellbinding beauty of the final track Strike Out, expect to be instantly drawn into Bud’s world of stories in song with his compelling debut album, Outsider."
