What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

SLIM DUSTY "the man who steadies the lead" cd, 1980...

Aussie Slim's forty-eighth album of one hundred and eighteen...
vintage country as always...
songs of the land, the people and the life of those that live it...
one song I don't like on here, has nothing to do with the melody, tune or
story but what opens it...yodelling, sorry but anything that contains yodelling
is a no go place for me regardless of who does it...
favourite track is about a man who goes for a job interview only to find himself
interviewed by a young guy who was not born when the old guy was already working back in the day...
I find his albums always seem to score roughly the same mark which
shows the consistent mature of his recordings...
