Across the 1960s and 1970s, Truck Drivers became the unlikely heroes of the
American Dream: mythologized, idolised and lionized in song and on screen. It was
es.mated, at the .me, that more than 2 million 'Knights of the Highway' were
'burning bitumen' at any given .me of the day or night - car.ng the goods, fuels and
resources that kept the wheels of U.S. Consumer Society turning.
Presented here for the very first .me are 16 of the very best Trucker Anthems and
Long-Haul Laments ever commired to shellac: Existen.al Road Hog Odes,
Amphetamine Rockabilly Rants and tremulous Truck Stop Succubi Tempta.ons.
Years in the making – ‘Diesel Smoke And Dangerous Curves: Big Rig Bus.n' Hits'
features a gear box stuffed full of Pinballing, Cop Dodging, Jack Knifing and Double
Clutching. Demonic Drivers, Spectral Hitchhikers, Tailga.ng Tearjerkers and rampant
Substance Abuse.

Moments of Gas Guzzling Pathos and Delirious White Line Fever.
Indeed, 'The White Line was the Life-Line of The Na.on' as Truck Stop Monkeys and
Overnight Freight Freaks pumped blood through the Body Mechanic and Nashville
celebrated/exploited these high-balling 'Heroes of the Highways.'
'Smokey's on our Tail'...So, Put The Hammer Down, The Pedal To The Metal and come
join The Convoy In The Sky...
