Slim sang about Australia, for Australians, and he was as fair dinkum as you will ever git. Slim and Henry Lawson carved their names into this beautiful countries history books. "" And the sun sank again on the grand australian bush, the nurse and tutor of excentric minds,the home of the weird, and much that is different from things in other lands""
Thank you for putting a lump in my throat when I read your message I miss the beauty of this country and slim took me back to a time when I was a snotty nose kid in the bush lol 😆
@colindominy That my learned friend is very true. And Slim Knew that very well, after all he spent all his life studying the Australian character and he knew what made us tick and what we were and are and tried to give us a sense of self respect and pride as a nation.
Stomping Tom probably around 60 yrs on the road he actually turned down some big American award saying his music is Canadian for Canadians too many Canadian artists moved to America with their music .Dusty was 9 yrs older just looked it up Tom died 10 yrs after .
2 people never done an honest days work on a farm in the country in their life, ruddy city slickers, bushman born raised and will die as one R.I.P old friend
Like every great country music song ever made .. this Slim Dusty gem tells a terrific story. I agree with triumph66500's comments below : these lyrics really ARE wise words to live by. "Cause if I wanted to get where I was goin .. I knew I .. just had to walk that country mile" .. read that as "every good thing in life, every golden thing we cherish & hold dear in our lives .. we have to EARN". Nothing good is ever eally earned without genuine effort & application of skill. That's the pay-off.
Parallels American Country music. Same meter and instruments. Fascinating similarities, drovers and cowboys. Singing about delivering cattle to market.
Gepps Cross hotel saloon bar was nicknamed the "million mile bar" because of all the rated interstate truckies who would camp there in their stays in Adelaide...literally in a half open paddock at the back...no junkies,no obvious ladies of the night...rules were rules..
Damn I'm farley new to listening to Mr. Dusty but damn i love Australian country music
Smart man
