Victoria McGee Returns with a Powerful Tribute to Steve Irwin
Acclaimed Australian country artist Victoria McGee returns with her latest single, “Cry of a Crocodile,” a heartfelt tribute to the late Steve Irwin, honouring his enduring legacy as a beloved wildlife warrior.
The single is set for release on November 15 — Steve Irwin Day — marking the lead-up to the 20th anniversary of his passing next year. What makes this release even more special is that Victoria, a veteran of the Australian country music scene, is joined by her sister LucyLou, a talented singer-songwriter who made her mark performing alongside some of the industry’s biggest names throughout the 1990s. Together, the sisters bring a moving blend of experience, heart, and harmony to the stage.
LucyLou penned “Cry of a Crocodile” by weaving together pieces from several poems she had written over the years about Steve Irwin.
The song marks the sisters’ official debut as part of Victoria’s newest project — Sisters of Gunsmoke, featuring Victoria McGee and LucyLou. The single captures the profound sense of loss felt around the world the day Steve Irwin passed, while celebrating the extraordinary legacy he left behind — one that continues to inspire Australians and wildlife lovers across the globe. The sisters have received warm support from the Irwin family and Australia Zoo, and in true Irwin spirit, Sisters of Gunsmoke will give back by donating a portion of sales and royalties from “Cry of a Crocodile” to Wildlife Warriors, supporting ongoing wildlife conservation efforts. The single’s cover artwork features the work of Queensland artist Trish Price, whose passion lies in painting Australian wildlife and landscapes, alongside a much-loved image of Steve Irwin captured by renowned photographer Greg Barrett.
