Truck Songs From The Past

Truck Songs From The Past

From Flatt Eggs!

With all the to-do with the truck’s roaring around the world, horns honking and people shouting, I decided to dig through my collection and listen to all my old trucker albums. I wish I had more, but then Jethro Tull never sang Beggar’s Day to accommodate them big rigs.

Have fun with these truck drivin’ albums and in the meantime, remember to give a shout, or a honk everytime you come across one of them big rigs rollin’ down the bi-ways.  And, keep on playing them (LP) records.

Keep On Truckin’!
