Everything Is True, released on EMI on 20 August 2009, was Paul Dempsey's first album away from Something for Kate, the band he fronts as singer, guitarist and principal lyricist, and he made it as a true solo record: Dempsey played every instrument on it himself. Australian listeners took to it, sending it to number 5 on the ARIA albums chart.
It sounds like someone letting the doors of a big rock band swing shut and settling in with his own thoughts: warm, sturdy guitars, unhurried tempos, melodies built on patience rather than volume, and that searching voice right at the front. "Ramona Was a Waitress" was the one that reached the rock countdowns. The ARIA Awards that year nominated Dempsey and the album three times, for Best Male Artist, Best Adult Contemporary Album and Producer of the Year, and the J Awards put it up for Australian Album of the Year.
