Storm Boy (album)

Storm Boy is the ninth studio album by Australian multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd. It was released on 25 May 2018 and peaked at number 6 on the ARIA Charts; becoming his sixth straight top ten in Australia.

The title track was inspired by the 1976 film of the same name; about a young boy's adventures in an isolated region of Australia, including his friendship with an Aboriginal man and the learning of some of life’'s unavoidable lessons.

Before its release, Rudd said "This album is very special to me, it's much more personal than Nanna with the United Nations, which can be considered a separate chapter in my discography. On the other hand, Stom Boy is a natural progression from Spirit Bird, the continuation of my journey and an honest tale of my experiences in the last five years."
