The Great Country Songbook is a studio album by Australian country music singers Adam Harvey and Troy Cassar-Daley, released in June 2013. The album debuted at number 2 on the ARIA Charts, becoming the career highest charting album for both artists.
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2013, the album was nominated for Best Country Album.[2]
The album was nominated for a number of awards at the 2014 Country Music Awards of Australia, but Cassar-Daley and Harvey withdrew their nominations after fellow artist John Williamson said the album was too "American" to be considered for an award. In a statement, the duo said "The conversations and debates about the album over the past few days has fragmented an already fragile music community. We are very proud of the achievements of the project, however wish to not have the album as part of the awards. We are just sad for country music that this has all happened. The last thing we wanted to do was cause any controversy. It was just two mates paying tribute to our musical heroes."[3]
