    I'm an Irishman, but this reminds me very much of our own country music, it's very similar in styles, I've only recently discovered Slim Dusty, and he is an incredible musician, his songs are great stories and ballads.

    I emigrated to Australia when I was just 16 .When the ship docked in Adelaide in 1958 I heard Slim Dusty's song the 'The Pub With No Beer' for the first time and have been a fan of his music ever since.
    This song that he recorded in 1946 is I think one of his best and I never get tired of hearing it

Those songs are still with me today and I play and sing along with them nearly every night. Bloody great Australian.

My favourite C/W singer is George Jones always has been but now SLIM DUSTY I now place you as my 2nd best C/W Singer.

    One beautiful thing about Slim was , he sang to his whole audience not just those in the front row, that's why he was always moving from side to side when he sang. Miss you terribly, your songs made me love my country more and more, they are about us, our vanishing way of life, and what it really means to be an Australian.

    I first head this song while watching the rain outside tumbling outside and the local creek was in flood in 1954. We lived in a valley much like the area where Slim came from.
