Riding This Road: My Story... Travelling with Slim Dusty, Performing, Singing and Song Writing by Joy McKean

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Creasing to front and back covers. Interior and binding are still very good.

Australia's Queen of country music, Joy McKean, takes us on the road of her life.

This is the story of Joy's career as a performer and songwriter, her decades of touring around Australia and her marriage of more than fifty years to Slim Dusty. Award-winning songwriter and musician Joy McKean wrote many of her husband Slim Dusty's most famous songs and won the first Golden Guitar awarded at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

For the first time, Joy explores her life from childhood to the present, fifty years of marriage to Slim, songwriting, recording and touring, while raising their children Anne and David.

Joy reveals an Australia that has long gone, when she and Slim and their band would load up trucks and caravans and drive across the country, putting on a show in every town, then moving on to do it all again the next night, and winning legions of fans along the way.

Inspiring and entertaining, Joy takes us into the heart and soul of her life of music and memories. Joy McKean passed away in 2023.
