hooker and Have You Got It

Did you hear the one about driver for Dixie Truck Line? How bout the Amazon called Hurricane Gussie? Well, even if you havent heard before. Maines Diesel Doug and the Long Haul truckers effort An Angel Not Saint on Sad Bird Records opens with Never Lookin Down. This song reminisces about virginity lost in the back of an old truck cab. Sonnys album features some pretty goofy Adobe Photoshop on the cover, along with vintage road maps and kudos to the American Trucking Association, the Tennessee Department of Highways and our beloved Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Its hard to memories like those, even when theyre not yours. For the variety of artists and the lessons contained within, give Rig Rock Deluxe big out of Wheels. In their recent release, The Trucking SessionsKoch Records, Dale Watson and His Lone Stars display the depth of their respect for truckers everywhere with tracks entirely devoted to trucking. Keep on the lookout for Junior because his live is hard to in New York Citys overly technohyped and too cool for me scene. Especially if you were in the Army or had particularly goofy father, cuz Genes material is pretty old.

This guy is tremendous talent in honkytonk who rips the tunes out of his Telecaster and sings in the richest baritone in country maybe even all of pop music My personal favorite track is Kay Adams with BR549 on Mama Was Rock Daddy Was Rolling Stone about the woman behind her truck driving man. Dale tells nearly every truckers story on this album, like the blessing for the road on Good Luck N Good Truckin Tonite and his heartfelt ballad to the road, Big Wheels Keep Rollin, that asks why he stays away from home so long.

imagine that on long haul Gene Tracy tape would provide some yuks for the guys, but Ill leave that to the truckers to enjoy and recommend that you do the same. The life of touring musician is not so different from that of truck driver, and the awesome variety of honkytonkers and rock & rollers on this release are testament to that road experience. SemiCrazy, is rollicking vocal duet between Junior and Red Simpson. Did you hear the one about driver for Dixie Truck Line? How bout the Amazon called Hurricane Gussie? Tags: ,
