Slim: Another Day, Another Town

Written in a refreshingly honest and down-to-earth style … provides a unique and candid look at the life of a travelling troubadour - a way of life that no longer exists. - Daily Advertiser, Wagga Wagga

… just like his lyrics, the prose is perfect … It’s just like listening to a bright spark in the bush. - The Age

The style of the book is the same straightforward, unembellished and anecdotal one that has characterised a lifetime of Dusty’s writing. - Sydney Morning Herald

Slim Dusty (Author)

Slim Dusty was one of Australia’s most prolific recording artists, releasing over 100 albums since his first commercial recording in 1946, and record sales of over seven million. Slim was awarded an MBE in 1970 and an OA in 1998 and was the first Australian to have an international hit record. Until his death in 2003, he held more gold and platinum record awards than any other Australian artist.
