He’s known universally as Australia’s King of Country, and it’s a title to which Slim Dusty can lay an unchallenged claim. Slim Dusty has been recognised not only for his music, but also for the role he’s played in documenting Australia’s unique spirit and history through his songs, as well as his contributions to Australian culture and society. He received both an MBE and an Order of Australia, was chosen as an Australian National Living Treasure by public vote, and in 1999 was named both Australia’s Father of the Year and the inaugural Senior Australian of the Year.
During his lifetime, Slim released more than a hundred albums, selling more than seven million records and earning over 70 gold and platinum album certifications. Running through this unparalleled catalogue is a rich seam of common themes; prominent among these is Slim Dusty’s songs detailing the world of trucking.
‘Gone Truckin’ collects 24 such songs about trucking – drawn from all eras of Slim’s illustrious and prolific recording career. Highlighting well known classics such as ‘Dieseline Dreams’ and the Joy McKean penned ‘Lights On The Hill’ alongside more hidden gems such as ‘Three Hundred Horses’ and ‘The Lady Is A Truckie’ – the album evokes the rich lyrical imagery and powerful storytelling through song, which is Slim Dusty’s trademark.
Proudly full colour softpack CD sleeve, beautifully presenting new original artwork from acclaimed artist and designer Dave Homer - this collection is a must-have for Slim Dusty fans.
Paying tribute to truckers and the elemental role they play in culture and society - ‘Gone Truckin’ is proudly released on Friday October 4 th , which is official Trucker Appreciation Day.
Gone Truckin’ is the next release in the series of thematic albums from Slim Dusty – following up on ‘Gone Fishin’ – an ARIA #11 album in 2021.
