Thread Name: Slim Dusty and Australian Folk Music
Subject: Slim Dusty and Australian Folk Music
I have read and heard that Slim Dusty is (was; I know he has gone walkabout) "THE MAN" of Australian folk music, and while I do not know much of his music, I would have to agree that he is very much a celebrated figure in Oz, if the 'Net is any indicator.
Who has favorite songs or albums of his?
What has his greatest contribution to the musical and folk culture of Australia been?
Looking forward to learning more about this interesting and colorful character.
