Another day, another town. Slim Dusty and Joy McKean. 1996.

I was born David Gordon Kirkpatrick but by the time I was eleven, I was darn sure that I wasn’t going to be Gordon Kirkpatrick in my glittering future, no way. Gordon couldn’t do this, Gordon couldn’t do that, and Gordon wasn’t allowed to do or say this or that. But, by hell, someone like a Slim Dusty, for instance, could and would do all the wonderful things I had in mind. That’s how Slim Dusty was born……..

Slim Dusty was one of Australia’s most loved and best-known country music performers. He is also a bush legend and his most famous song, ‘A Pub With No Beer’, has made him one of the most celebrated fair dinkum Aussies.

Written by Slim and his wife, Joy McKean, Another Day, Another Town provides a fascinating account of his amazing life and a career that has spanned over fifty years. Refreshingly honest, down-to-earth and written with the same easygoing warmth of Slim’s songs, this book provides a real insight into a way of life that no longer exists.
