Dusty Show You Country

Dusty releases his debut single, Show You Country, this month - a song to party to with your mates.

The Queensland singer-songwriter could not be more country if he tried, but also comes with a few surprises along the way, and the songs he writes and the songs he's lived.

From being a horse breaker and growing up around Birdsville, managing a property near Warwick, to now living on the coast at Yeppoon and being a competition mixed martial artist, Dusty is full of surprises.

Dusty wrote his debut single, Show You Country, after wanting to release a song that was about having fun, and not a serious heartbreak song like so many tracks out there at the moment.

"I wanted a song that people could party, dance and drink to," he said.

"So many songs on the charts at the moment are about heartbreak and I didn't want to write one about a truck or my girl leaving."

Show You Country is a guitar-driven rocking country song that blends the country that Dusty grew up on with his dad into Slim Dusty and his mum playing Shania Twain and incorporates the country rock that he loves. It's a song that is simply for the fun of the music as Dusty sings of how country boys and girls know how to have the most fun of all.

The rocking country song was recorded in Queensland and mixed and mastered in the US by Mike Stankiewicz with musicians Kosta Theodosis on drums, Tim Galloway on lead guitar, and Judd Tiziani on bass playing on the track.

With the commercial release of Show You Country, Dusty aims to spread the word about his music and increase his gig and festival appearances in the coming year.
