Christmas for Cowboys is the twelfth studio album and first Christmas album by Australian country music artist Troy Cassar-Daley. The album was released 6 November 2020 and peaked at number 13 on the ARIA Charts.
The album featured seven Christmas standard and three originals, including "Christmas for a Broken Family", which features his 18-year-old daughter, Jem.
Upon release, Cassar-Daley said "Christmas is a very special time of year for our family and music has always played a big part in Christmas family gatherings with all sides of our family tree. Getting a chance to share songs I've loved to sing for years, from backyards in Grafton and Brisbane to Christmas Carol events all over Australia, means a lot to me… and this collection gives you a good idea of the songs I've covered, whether sitting around with guitars or playing them with an orchestra."[1]
Jeff Jenkins from Stack Magazine said "Like an Aussie version of Randy Travis, Cassar-Daley has a classic country crooner's voice – perfect for this material."[2]
