EMI MUSIC AUSTRALIA
Date of release: Mar 06 2026
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 place – specifically specific towns and the outback.
Gone Bush collects 24 such songs about getting out into the wide brown land of Australia, drawn from all eras of Slim’s illustrious and prolific recording career.
Highlighting well known classics such as "Ringer From the Top End" and “Cunnamulla Fella’ alongside more hidden gems such as "Cattlemen From The High Plains" and "Back To The Saltbush Plains" – the album evokes the rich lyrical imagery and powerful storytelling through song, which is Slim Dusty’s trademark. As noted in the liner notes for ‘Gone Bush’: ‘These songs speak of stockmen, drovers, country pub and wide dusty roads. Through them Slim paid homage to the resilience, character and camaraderie found in remote communities’.
Proudly presented in a full colour 12” sleeve, beautifully presenting new original artwork from acclaimed artist and designer Dave Homer - and pressed onto 2x 180 gram Black vinyl discs, this collection is a must-have for Slim Dusty fans.
Gone Bush is the next release in the series of thematic albums from Slim Dusty – following up on Gone Fishin’ – an ARIA #11 album in 2021 and Gone Truckin in 2024.
