When he debuted in 2002 with the album 'To Let', Xavier Rudd began a journey that would see him become one of the most iconic voices in Australian music, literally and figuratively. With each new album, this journey has wound like a river making its way toward the ocean - twisting and turning, flowing, and cascading as it relentlessly pushes forward. Encompassing all his musical and spiritual gifts, 2012's 'Spirit Bird' is Xavier Rudd at his best. Shaped by his history but continuing to break new ground, Xavier Rudd is at his most creative on 'Spirit Bird' - once again painting breathtaking pictures with vivid, unmistakable tones. Hypnotic ceremonial rhythms ease effortlessly into tender folk songs. Gritty guitar blues sits perfectly alongside entrancing yidaki passages.
