The Word: Can corn-fed, "Hee Haw" music be hip? Does a wild pope poop in the woods? Why, there's nothing quite so hip as old Starday-King records (James Brown's first major label, after all). It's only contemporary country (blech!) that's stuck in the trough of Squaresville. Old truck-driver songs are among the least-known and least-appreciated gems of true Americana, as no less a "sagebrush swinger" than Jello Biafra tells us. Comedy, sentiment, pathos, drivin' beats, seat covers, hard livin', pill poppin', law breakin' -- you name it, buster! Trucker songs have it all, unfiltered, and how. Here you'll find the very best of the lot, so to speak.

McCall phenomenon is not as well known as it should be these days, and apart from the smash-hit single (White Night) it's pretty hard to find, but you will love it!; the whole thing is consistently great, uptempo, crazy-zany-wackadoodle, and pushes the CB craze started by "Convoy" to the ultimate limits, like only Rod Hart's "CB Savage" does otherwise; RECOMMENDED!!!; Kentucky Moonrunner, Mercy Day, Dad I Gotta Go, CB Rock, The White Night (his big hit), Jaw Jackin', Who We Got on that End?
