Tweet

What do you know, I get a birthday present today. Here we have a song that’ll be 70 years old this year, by a relatively obscure country singer, and my favorite “noper” NJ Chic KNOWS IT! How did I manage that? I didn’t do a thing…Toby Keith did it! Thanks, Toby! Here’s today’s song from 1954, and Linda? NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Truck Drivin’ Man - Terry Fell Welcome back, Terry Fell! He wrote the Red Sovine song, “Don’t Drop It,” featured earlier this month. And here’s his “bread and butter” tune. His band at the time included a young Buck Owens, and Buck recorded it. So did Red Simpson, Steve Goodman, Boxcar Willie, Toby Keith’s “Incognito Bandito” outfit, 42,000,000 other country acts, and the J. Geils Band??????? Yeah, that’s what happens with a good song. Truck Drivin’ Man Written by Terry Fell Recorded by Terry Fell Released as a single, 1954 Pour me another cup of coffee:
