A tribute to the late Slim Dusty. The absolute voice of Australian Country music. Judy Hollier words. Me noise.

A wide variety of music styles, governed by what we are trying for in any given collaboration. Or how an artist applies their feel to any song
This is my page for all collaborations, and for songs recorded or demoed and/or done live by other people. Be they collabs or all my own work. Basically a lyricist, it is some surprise to me that I now also write music to other's lyrics. A nice surprise. Makes me think I have actually learnt something.

Lyrics
Happy Trails and Campfires Slim Lyric: © Copyright Judy Hollier 2003 Music: © Copyright APRA Graham Henderson 2003 From beneath the brim of a battered hat Slim’s voice filled the nation Singing songs all understood From the city to the station For sixty years he crossed the land From the top end to Ceduna Slim’s an icon of Australia Like meat pies and a schooner He didn’t hit the smoke a lot. Too much traffic, too much noise His place was ‘round a campfire Swappng bush yarns with the boys Or singing of times gone by And when the pub ran out of beer A legend in his life time Who’ll always be here. Chorus Happy trails and campfires Slim. We’re gonna miss you mate God tapped you on the shoulder With just credit on the slate. Happy trails and campfires Slim. Peace in your final rest. You’ve earned your place beside him So happy trails and campfires Slim. Instrumental I’m better for the chance. To walk this earth with Slim. A lot of who and how I am. I put down to him. His songs were my company. In good times and the grim. So happy trails and campfires. And here’s to you Slim. Chorus Happy trails and campfires Slim. We’re gonna miss you mate God tapped you on the shoulder With just credit on the slate. Happy trails and campfires Slim. Peace in your final rest. You’ve earned your place beside him So happy trails and campfires Slim. Yeah happy trails and campfires Slim.
