RareCollections: NAIDOC 2012 Another instalment of RareCollections, the podcast in which Jordie and David Kilby take a look at rare, collectible and unusual Australian music.
This episode features the following tracks and the voices of Slim Dusty, Joe Daly, Ted Egan and Rim D.Paul.
Slim Dusty - Trumby - Columbia - 1966
Trumby was not an actual person but rather a composite character. Joe Daly spent his life working outback. He was also a talented songwriter who penned more than 50 songs for Slim Dusty alone. The first one he passed on to Slim was this comment on literacy among the indigenous stockmen he knew and worked alongside.
