The follow up to McAlister Kemp’s award winning debut album All Kinds Of Tough is titled Country Proud. The album’s title track and opening single ‘Country Proud’ is set to be the new country anthem of the summer with its powerful core message, gospel backing singers and even a hint of reverse banjo!

McAlister Kemp write, record and perform music that touches on core values, real people, great fun and great music! Their debut album produced three #1 singles ('All Kinds Of Tough', 'Hell Yeah', 'Hard Work') and the duo were this year rewarded with a ‘Best New Talent’ Golden Guitar at the Country Music Awards of Australia and a CMC Music Award for 'Best New Oz Artist'.

McAlister Kemp also had the opportunity to open for US country superstar Alan Jackson and perform at the CMA Music Festival Global Artist Party in Nashville last June. Country Proud continues to touch on the themes typified in All Kinds Of Tough, but this time with bigger, fresher, bolder and more ambitious sound quality and production. It also includes a track with Canadian country superstars Doc Walker. The new album was recorded primarily in Australia and is produced by 2011 Country Music Awards of Australia Album of the Year winning producer Matt Fell.
