Roarin' Town is the eleventh studio album by Australian rock band The Black Sorrows. The album was released in October 2006. It was the first studio album from The Black Sorrows since Beat Club in 1998.{{cite web|url=https://shop.abc.net.au/products/roarin-town-black-sorrows|title=Roarin' Town by The Black Sorrows|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|accessdate=10 September 2016}}

Camilleri said he wrote the tracks throughout 2005 and called the song "What Levi Wants", the son of "Harley + Rose", "not because they sound like each other, it just started to speak in the same way."{{Cite web|url=http://theblacksorrows.bandcamp.com/album/roarin-town|title=Roarin' Town by The Black Sorrows|publisher=The Black Sorrows|accessdate=10 September 2016}}

The album was re-released in May 2007, with a 7-track live CD.

Reception

Bruce Elder from Sydney Morning Herald said; "This is the first new Black Sorrows album in nearly a decade and it doesn't do the brand name any favours." adding "There are moments when the old magic re-emerges... But the rest of the material fails to excite" {{Cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/cd-reviews/roaring-town/2006/10/20/1160851117997.html|title=Roaring Town CD review|publisher=Sydney Morning Herald|date=20 October 2016 |accessdate=10 September 2016}}
