Slim Dusty and Joy McKean I've Been There (and Back Again) CD

Price: $19.95

A brand new CD compilation inspired by the new book of the same name, written by Slim Dusty’s wife, song co-writer and wife …the remarkable Joy McKean. The album features a collection of Slim and Joy’s own compositions (many lesser known)… songs they wrote and songs which held a very special and meaningful place in both their hearts and in Joy’s memories. The lyrics of these 25 unique Slim and Joy songs capture the stories about the many, many places they visited together, the real characters they met, the old town halls and old showgrounds they played and about a life on the road together. While the albums predominately features Slim’s recordings also included are two tracks from Anne Kirkpatrick (Joy & Slim’s daughter) and one classic track recorded by the pioneering Aussie country duo The McKean Sisters (featuring Joy with her sister Heather).
