"Always a Winner" is a song recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Pete Murray. It was released in June 2011 as the lead single from Murray's fifth studio album, Blue Sky Blue. "Always a Winner" peaked at number 38 on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified gold.
Reception
In 2019, Forte Magazine ranked "Always a Winner" as Murray's 4th best song, saying, "I'm sure we aren't the only ones who are suckers for a little horns and racing percussion subtlety in the background. 'Always A Winner' is most definitely a winner for any summer session and I'm sure it would sound just as cool stripped back"
In July 2022, Stephen Green from The Music also ranked "Always a Winner" as Murray's 4th best song, saying, "this is one of Pete's most immediate sing-a-long rock songs." Adding, "Featuring a horn section, it's a cracking tune and shows that there are far more strings to the Pete Murray bow than simply acoustic ballads."
