Background and release

Over his career Slim Dusty recorded 80 plus original Aussie 'trucking' songs and his six standalone trucking albums achieved sales well in excess of half a million copies.[1] In March 2007, a 3-disc Slim Dusty compilation titled Pubs, Trucks & Plains was released which peaked at number 20 onto ARIA Charts and was certified gold. This single disc version makes all of Slim Dusty's best trucking songs available on one disc.

Reception

Kix Country said "Prime Movers is a best of style collection of 20 of Slim's classic trucking songs and is the ideal quick fix for any truckie, or even a quick way for the uninitiated to understand the great Aussie truckie psyche."[1]
