Lights on the hill-Joy Mc Kean and family

From the Slim Dusty Tribute concert

[@its4it]

Great to hear Joy singing this song seeing as she wrote it. I bet she never expected when she was writing Lights on the Hill that she would make history with it. She became the first Australian to write a song about truck driving and also won the first Golden Guitar award for this song. It has also gone on to become a standard with several other artists also having a crack at it.

Rest in peace Joy. She’s been reunited with Slim Dusty after twenty years .

Absolutely brilliant! Just love all those singers and that brilliant song.

I said at the time of Slim Dusty's state funeral what a shame it is going to be that his widow Joy McKean would not be given such a tribute. Make no mistake It was a Joy and Slim team effort to get Slim where he got to and Slim would have been the first to tell you that. Both were such great songwriters. You will always be an Australian music legend Joy. With Slim now RIP

Hello Dana, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

[@madsandyalmond1838]

Joy's version sounds more like something I'd expect to hear in a pub way out back, a good sound, where Slim's version not surprisingly did well on the radio also a good and very different sound. Interesting how different Slim and Joy's versions are.

I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on KZbin❤❤❤

If only Keith Urban hadn't utterly killed this song earlier in the concert!! This is a fantastic version, and the way it SHOULD be sung, not like the way Keith Urban murdered it! He should have picked something else and left this one for Joy to sing.
