Thread Name: Slim Dusty and Australian Folk Music
Subject: RE: Slim Dusty and Australian Folk Music
While Slim was undoubtedly a 'Country' performer, his roots were very firmly based in 'Folk'. He came from Nullah Creek, a centre of wonderful musicians (must have been something in the local water). This includes a number of great fiddlers including members of the Kyle and Fitzpatrick families. Traditional musicians here in Oz play a number of great dance tunes from Charlie Kyle and other members of the extended Kyle family.
