Solace by Xavier Rudd
Solace is an album by Xavier Rudd, released in 2004. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Let Me Be”, on 1 list with a best position of #54.
Solace, the second album from Australian roots musician Xavier Rudd, came out in Australia on 28 March 2004, following Live at the Grid, and it was his first record to go out through a major, with Universal Music Australia handling distribution. It went straight into the upper reaches of the ARIA albums chart within days.
Rudd is a multi-instrumentalist with a blues-rock streak, and his songwriting often turns to the big questions: spirituality, humanity, the environment and the rights of Indigenous Australians. "Let Me Be" and "Shelter" are the two that made the countdowns. The record earned him two ARIA nominations at the 2005 ceremony, for Best Breakthrough Artist and Best Blues and Roots Album, though he lost out to Jet's Get Born and John Butler Trio's Sunrise Over Sea. Good Spirit came next.
