Trucker songs

[Otokichi]

I ran into a Songfacts article about Trucker/Truck driving songs on Facebook. After listening to Taj Mahal's "Six Days On The Road," I remembered a singer-songwriter who "took to the road" between gigs to keep his family fed. It's not an "On The Road Again" significant song, but Experience rings through this short song about a driver on the road to Baltimore.;) (What, Baltimore isn't on other "trucker song" destinations?)

That's fantastic. Also love that album cover - with the sweater and corduroy pants, he his marked as a married man

We've been working on trucker songs lately. Started a category for them:

Always liked this song by Little Feat...Linda Ronstadt's version is also good.

Fun random fact: The Dixie Chicks are named after the Little Feat song "Dixie Chicken."

Another Trucker song from Jim Croce, dealing with "West Coast Turnarounds," dancing feet, and "40 foot of overload.";)

The Hell Country Truckers get paid in 'shine!?

This Country boy has been on the road way more than six days...

Here's a parody  for something different.

"Sittin here with dispatch on hold."

Good stuff.
