I didn't see this one mentioned either. I remember my dad used to play it all the time. He drove T/T OTR for 30 years.

Good memories, some of these songs.

I met Red Sovine once in the 70's, when we served as pallbearers at a funeral for a good ol' boy we both had known in KY.

They buried a beer with the ol' boy, and his son and I went out afterward and hit most every bar from Walton to Covington.

Big Mack is a cute little song by Red, that didn't make the list. I used to play it for my daughter when she was a toddler.

My personal top ten:


Willin' - Little Feat

Let him roll - Bobby Bare ( if you know the song you know why it just fits right after Willin')

Gear jammer - George Thorogood

Teddy Bear - Hank Hill (Hanks voice is just perfect for this song)

Guitar Town - Steve Earle

Take it to the limit - Eagles

Monteagle Mountain - Johnny Cash

White Line - Willie P. Bennet (wish I could get this on cd)

Bound for Glory - Neil Young and Waylon Jennings

Last American Exit - Tragically Hip



Some newer stuff worth mentioning:

Highway Junkie - Chris Knight
Macon - Jamey Johnson
Semi Crazy - Junior Brown
