Man Behind The Badge/Roll, Truck, Roll

Search: Six Days On The Road

This CD is a twofer of these albums from 1966, remastered from 1999: "The Man Behind The Badge" which is an album of songs about police and the law and features "Highway Patrol" a top 40 hit for Red which would later be covered by Junior Brown, the classic "Johnny Law" and others, and "Roll, Truck, Roll", an album of songs about trucks and truck driving, his forte, which features the hit title track and others which the majority of the album, minus "Big Mack," "My Baby's Waitin'" and "Runaway Truck" are on Razor & Tie's US domestic anthology "The Best of Red Simpson: Country Western Truck Drivin' Singer."

Truck Driver's Boogie: Big Rig Hits, 1939-1969

Search: Six Days On The Road
by: Various Artists

June 12, 2001
Country music and truck driving reached an intersection several decades before the crossover popularity of C.W. McCall's "Convoy." The regional itinerancy of country musicians, touring the signal range of radio giants like WSM, WWVA and KWKH, found them pounding the same pavement as America's truckers, subjecting themselves to the same hardships of life on the road and writing about it in their songs.

As early as 1939, "Truck Driver's Blues," featuring vocals and piano from Moon Mullican, provided a lyrical template of the road ahead: weary, lonely days relieved by a cup of coffee, a honky-tonk gal and a couple of drinks before saddling up for the next day's ride. Many of these juke-box hits were aimed at gear-jammers themselves, celebrating ... Read More:

David Allan Coe - 20 Greatest Hits

Search: Six Days On The Road
by: David Allan Coe

January 01, 1996
This is a very good disc! One previous reviewer didn't like it because they said it sounded too smooth, but I don't mind smooth music as long as it's good. Coe is a unique performer who can deliver raw (check out the Iron Horse Saloon disc),smooth, sentimental, or rough stuff and if you accept him as a versatile performer you'll enjoy this. I especially loved the bluesy renditon of House Of The Rising Sun!

The Flying Burrito Bros./Last of the Red Hot Burritos

Search: Six Days On The Road
by: The Flying Burrito Brothers

April 15, 2008
Nice package of the final two Burrito albums.The 3rd is probably the weakeast of the three studio lps, but there are some good moments; "Can't you Hear me Callin'" and "Tried So Hard" most notable.Rick Roberts replaced Gram Parsons for this record, and some of his stuff is a little too commercial for what the Burritos had been doing.Not enough of Sneeky Pete and Bernie Leadon on this album either. The "Last of the Red Hots" cd smokes, with newcomer Al Perkins on steel and guitar burning it up, along with Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke.Good material, although the loss of Bernie Leadon is felt here as well. The bluegrass set is okay; could have done without the overplayed "Orange Blossom Special'.Two bonus tracks, both Gene Clark songs are included: the 45 ... Read More:
