Camacho is the seventh studio album by Australian rock musician Pete Murray. The album was released in June 2017 peaked at number 3 on the ARIA Charts. The album was supported with a 33-date national tour across Australia from July to September 2017.[1]
Upon release, Murray said "With [''Camacho''] I feel like I've found a new sound – found my sound, because it's really getting away from what I've done before."[2]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2017, the album was nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album.
Josh Leeson from The Newcastle Herald gave the album 3 out of 5, stating: "While there are some cosmetic changes with loops and beats, Murray has stuck to his inoffensive brand of folk-rock. The title-track's melody is so closely inspired by the Animals' classic 'House of the Rising Sun' it could be considered a tribute, while "Take Me Down" has an infectious gospel-style chorus and ranks among his best work. Camacho isn't going to propel Murray back to his halcyon days of the mid-2000s, but rusted on fans will enjoy the familiar embrace."[3]
