Not So Dusty is a compilation album of Slim Dusty songs covered by Australian musicians. It was released in Australia by EMI in 1998. It was nominated for a 1999 ARIA Award for Best Country Album.
Not So Dusty received positive reviews and was certified gold. [1] Gary Tippet of the Sunday Age gave it 3 stars [2] and Peter Lalor of the Daily Telegraph gave it 7/10 although he noted that most of the Australian country outfits on the album "seem to bland out with their attempt at authentic outings". [3] Keith Glass writing in the Sunday Herald Sun says "but what could have been a dodgy concept is mainly highly entertaining." [4] The Age's Mike Daly calls it "a splendid tribute by some diverse performers." [5] and the Sunday Mail calls it a "wonderful tribute". [6]
It was reported that Slim Dusty enjoyed the album saying "I've had a lot of tributes over the years but that's a very touching one. I feel very honoured – everyone really put their heart and soul into each track." [7]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1999, the album was nominated for Best Country Album. [8]
The album's lead single was " Cunnamulla Feller" performed by The Screaming Jets. [9]
