  • im from nz and when i listen to this legend he reminds me of race horses, australia and farms! I LOVE AUSSIE MUSIC AND AUSSIE :)

  • i love this

  • I woke up to Slim singing When the Rain Tumbles Down in July almost every morning as a child growing up at Menindee on the Darling River. Radio station 2BH  Broken Hill played Country music each morning and it was a great way to greet the day. I have been a fan of Slim Dusty all my life.

  • God Bless and May you Rest In Peace and most of all, THANK YOU for they guidance you provided to me as a young man.

    RIP Mate

  • If only our politicians loved this country of ours like Slim did we would be so much better off.Love you Slim and miss you.TRUE AUSTRALIAN LEGEND.

  • He reminds me of the Canadian singer Wilf Carter. In the U.S. he was known as Montana Slim. Their voices are similar and the songs tell a story. Good stuff!!

  • i grew up listening to slim dusty, best memories were traveling around out bush, windows down slim going on the tape player good memories that i will keep forever

  • How can I rate this (Like/dislike) when I bloody LOVE it?

  • @GunnarOlaf yes he was the greatest and still is a Australian legend

  • Australien Country! Sucsessful

  • I grew up with these songs, Slim, you and your beautiful family, are the greatest. Thank you to a true Aussie, a gentleman and wonderful story teller, You told my family's story, My Mum had the honour to hear you and Tex Morten and others in 'concert'. This was rolling up to a far outback country town, having everyone from the cattle stations (ranches) hundreds of miles around turn up, you sitting on the back of the truck and singing those peoples' lives, Rest in peace, with your work well done.

  • What a great voice, Love the music. Rest in peace Slim.

    I always have a fosters in your memory.

  • Great performer from a Canuck.

  • What a australian legend and a voice this man had his music will live on forever.

  • Legends live forever, your music will be with us forever.

  • Slim is gone, but his songs live forever.

  • am 62 now myself, been a fan of Slim since I heard "Rusty its Goodbye" around 1955

  • So many people thought Slim was "lame".

    Now hes gone all of a sudden hes a legend.

    News flash - Always was a legend !

  • What a really great story teller.  Slim Dusty RIP

  • Slim will always in our mind. RIP from Malaysia

  • Very nice. Slim please come back, NOW !

  • @OldRottenDingo Yeah mate, I miss him too, but I reckon he's got a better audience now.

  • Beautiful wonderful song...a Great legend.

  • A true AUSSIE legend. When you think of Australia u think Slim Dusty.

  • Great song and wonderful video. So glad to have the chance to see him perform it live here.

  • another great song from the country music legend. R.I.P Slim.

  • I find it amazing to think that there must be hundreds of reels of film of Slim and only a couple of songs have made it onto the net. Same with Reg Linsay. What a shame.

  • Always has been and always will be my favorite artist.Saw him and the travelling country band when thay used to tour outback QLD when i was growing up and they were always great.

  • the greatest rip

  • Great performance, when Slim was at his peak. The amazing thing about this song is that it was the first he ever recorded, back in 1947, and it remains his best song ever.

    Absolute classic.

  • Truly great song by the greatest country singer ever.

  • wow! this is amazing

  • This is the greatest song of Slim. A real Australian Classical. The man who is Australia lives on in our memories!

  • Yep he even performed free sometimes in remote areas so Aboriginal people from extremely remote areas could hear him perform. Whos else does that? Who else goes to any part of this huge country?

  • icon of australia! Where ever slim was, aboriginal people were happy
