Anything from Slim Dusty's 101 albums, especially Pub with no beer. Johny Cash too, Ring of fire or A boy named Sue.

Ya know, Slim Dusty and Lee Kernaghan are the only Aussie country singers I can think of. Both are pretty damn good.

Not even Casey Chambers?

"Am I not pretty enough?
Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much?
Am I too outspoken?
Don't I make you laugh?
I can try a little harder
Why do you see, right through me?"

There are so many - I'd have no idea where to start - but Ill say that I hope there are more old classics posted here...

Im a big fan of Don Williams' smoky voice, along with Kris, Merle, Waylon, Willie and of course Johnny Cash.

Sorry, I just haven't had much exposure to Aussie country.

A tie between three.


Marty Robbins- Big Iron

Marty Robbins- The Ballad of the Alamo

Steve Earle- The Devil's Right Hand (But I think Waylon Jennings does a better job with it)

Come on out of that bunker. That's one of my faves as well.
(And by my second favorite Daniels as well. :))

Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash

I know its wrong but I love songs about guys shooting their girlfriends/wives and feeling bad about it. I don't know why but I just like it. I swear I don't want to shoot my girlfriend.
I am just digging a hole, aren't I?

Let that Cocaine be,
