The very best of Slim Dusty

He's known universally as Australia's King of Country, and it's a title to which Slim Dusty can still lay an unchallenged claim, close to a decade after he passed away and took up his place at the head of the table in Country Music Heaven. Slim has been the face of Australian country music for its entire history - close to 70 years, since its early roots in hillbilly and folk music. In that time, he evolved with the industry - setting the agenda and changing with the times
