This is a pretty funny song about an Aussie trucker who gets stuck in the mud, then has to 'lighten the load of beer', so please Enjoy! R.I.P. Slim Dusty!
Whats happen to country today its lost its way sounds more like rock an roll now slimy dusty marty robbins tex ritter an so manny more old singers there country music an songs was far bedder then todays Miss you slim
Slim was a bit of a prick during his lifetime. I knew him well...he was a HARD arsed man and I make no apology for speaking out. My mother had an affair with him in the late 60's/70's and my father intends to take the secret to the grave. I'm getting a court ordered DNA test done before my 'father' who was Slim's 'best mate' passes away. Slim & Joy used to visit our hone every year in Tennant Creek...he never cared about my brother or sister - he always asked about me and wouldn't leave until he saw me and rocked me on his knee. He would check in on me every year. Later in life I found out my so called father wanted me aborted because I wasn't his daughter. I need to know WHO my 'father' was...
It is also on "walk a country mile" album along with an original recording from 1946 of" the rain tumbles down in july" among others ,one of his best album IMHO
My dad loved Slim and I loved my dad and miss him so much, even after 30 years,
Love slim dusty from the UK but an Aussie by heart
Same here

is this really appropriate to post on social media considering the depth of feeling and trauma involved.
Think that's something you need to sort out privately not on social media
My dad says send her down Hughie when it starts raining ❤❤❤
