Gone Truckin'
Few artists are as intrinsically linked to the Australian experience as Slim Dusty. Revered as Australia's undisputed King of Country, Slim spent more than six decades documenting the people, places and stories that shaped the nation, creating a catalogue that remains one of the most important in Australian music history.
Among the many themes that run through his remarkable body of work, few were as enduring as his songs about the men and women who keep Australia moving — the truck drivers travelling vast distances across highways, outback roads and remote communities.
Gone Truckin' brings together 24 of Slim Dusty's finest trucking songs, drawing from every era of his extraordinary recording career. From beloved classics such as Dieseline Dreams and the Joy McKean-penned Lights On The Hill to hidden gems including Three Hundred Horses and The Lady Is A Truckie, the collection celebrates the storytelling, humour and rich Australian imagery that defined Slim's songwriting.
Across these songs, Dusty captures not only the realities of life on the road but also the camaraderie, resilience and spirit of the trucking community that has played such an essential role in Australia's history and identity.
Presented in a beautifully designed full-colour gatefold sleeve featuring brand new artwork by acclaimed Australian artist and designer Dave Homer, this special edition is pressed across two stunning Eucalyptus Green vinyl records.
Released to coincide with Trucker Appreciation Day, Gone Truckin' stands as both a celebration of Australia's trucking culture and a tribute to one of the nation's most treasured musical voices.
