Award-winning artist **Tom Busby** unveils ***Cyclone***, a further taste of his forthcoming debut solo album ***Rockhampton Hangover****,* out later this year. 

Discussing the new track, Tom explains, “*Cyclone* opens my debut solo album – a song I wrote with Ben Kweller that blends traditional country with a wild, indie-bluegrass spirit. It’s the most country I’ve ever sounded, but with a raw punk edge. When I worried it might be too country, Ben just laughed and said, “Hell yeah! It’s country as F…!”.

“*Cyclone *captures the feeling of stepping out on my own for the first time — chasing a dream, carrying a little fear, but fuelled by excitement. Some of Texas’s best players helped bring that fearless energy to life on this track.”

The footage in the *Cyclone* video was shared to editor Nick Atkins by people on ground filming throughout Tropical Cyclone Alfred in March and woven together by a live performance at one of Busby’s recent shows. Live footage captured by [www.bcreativehouse.com](https://revolutionsperminuteprptyltd.cmail20.com/t/d-l-shhirky-ikttmjjlt-i/), edit and *Cyclone* live footage by Nick Atkins.

***Cyclone**** *follows Tom’s second single ***Someone Strong*** and debut solo single ***Waiting For Tomorrow,*** which achieved over 30K streams in the first weeks of release.
