I’m super pleased to be able to premiere the video for Claire Anne Taylor‘s new single ‘Keep On Truckin” today. The single comes from her forthcoming third album Giving It Away, recorded at MONA’s Frying Pan Studios in Tasmania and set for released in February 2024.

Possessing one of the finest voices in Australian roots music, Claire digs deep into a soulful and bluesy country sound – part New Orleans, part Nashville – her vocal steeped in a warm and worn, raspy holler, all exuberant heart and soul. Imagine Joplin kicking up dust at an Outback truck stop.

“Well I picked him up, not a stones throw from Bendigo…”

The beautifully shot video clip, directed by Ursula Woods and starring Tom Steel, chronicles a road trip and a young hitchhiker, perfectly mirroring the song and the freewheeling and free-spirited rhythm and groove of the song.
