Slim Newton Redback on the Toilet Seat

A native of Perth, Western Australia, Ralph Ernest (Slim) Newton came from a family of three boys. He is a man steeped in the tradition of authentic Australian country music, and draws inspiration from artists of the genre of Hank Williams and Slim Dusty. An excellent song writer, Slim sent a demo tape to Hadley Studios in Tamworth and the studio was so impressed they offered him a contract. He became the first composer to be offered a ten year songwriter, publisher contract. In 1971, he packed up his wife and four kids and moved to Tamworth. His first record, an EP, Redback on the Toilet Seat made history, and has earned Slim three gold records. The record went on to sell more than 100, 000 copies. Slim still does a show or two now and then and that song is always requested. The track presented here is that Redback song. (I got a bit carried away with the graphics never mind it was fun) The track is available on CD the source is in the video. Ple
