Ian Moss - Rivers Run Dry

Rivers Run Dry is the eighth solo studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Ian Moss, released in July 2023 via Mosstrooper Touring and Universal Music.

Ian Moss is an Australian guitarist and singer-songwriter hailing from Alice Springs and a founding member of rock band Cold Chisel. In 1989 he released his debut solo album Matchbook that reached #1 on the Australian Albums chart. That album included his first hit solo single “Tucker’s Daughter”. He has released further studio albums; Worlds Away (1991), Petrolhead (1996), Six Strings (2005), Let’s All Get Together (2007), Soul On West 53rd (2009) and Ian Moss (2018).

The song selection for Ian Moss’ new album, ‘Rivers Run Dry’, was simple. No matter the style or genre, just finding good songs was the goal.

Recorded over 10 days at Rancom St Studios in Sydney, with additional recording done at Oceanic Studios & Point Blank Studios, ‘Rivers Run Dry’ reveals Ian's impressive guitar skills and distinctive voice.

Co-produced by Ian and Brent Clark, it features the incredible musicianship of Zoe Hauptman – Bass (Neil Finn, Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins), Clayton Doley – Keys (Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Barnes) and Kerry Jacobson - Drums (Dragon, Mondo Rock) with special guests Julian Moss duetting on the Stevie Wonder classic 'Blame It On The Sun', and multiple award-winning songwriter and recording artist Kasey Chambers on the roots inspired 'Bury Me’.

The result is an album that seamlessly covers straight-ahead rock, Latin, funk, country, blues & unapologetic pop. According to Ian, the album does not have any "What the fuck is that song doing?" moments.

This album is on black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in New Zealand via Mosstrooper Touring and Universal Music.
