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.
In 1980 Slim Dusty achieved a #1 on the Australian chart with his single ‘Duncan’ – with its themes of mateship and camaraderie all set at the Town & Country (where the atmosphere is great) – it enraptured Australia and to this day it stands as one of Slim Dusty’s most-streamed tracks.
No surprise then that when a remix version went viral on Tik-Tok recently thanks to Y.O.G.A (You’re Only Great Always) @youreonlygreatalways: there was instant demand to release the full remix. … and we’re delighted to present that official remix here!
