musician
Pete Murray. The album was released in June 2017 peaked at number 3 on the
ARIA Charts. The album was supported with a 33-date national tour across Australia from July to September 2017.
Upon release, Murray said "With
'Camacho''I feel like I've found a new sound – found ''my'' sound, because it's really getting away from what I've done before."
At the
ARIA Music Awards of 2017, the album was nominated for
Best Adult Contemporary Album.
Critical reception
Josh Leeson from ''
The Newcastle Herald'' gave the album 3 out of 5, stating: "While there are some cosmetic changes with loops and beats, Murray has stuck to his inoffensive brand of
folk-rock. The title-track's melody is so closely inspired by
the Animals' classic '
House of the Rising Sun' it could be considered a tribute, while "Take Me Down" has an infectious gospel-style chorus and ranks among his best work. ''Camacho'' isn't going to propel Murray back to his halcyon days of the mid-2000s, but rusted on fans will enjoy the familiar embrace."
