poptimistsJohn Stewart - "Big Joe"
Because trucks and their drivers remain a feature of American life, the truckin' song never quite dies out, so it serves as a miniature history of country music styles. "Big Joe", dating I'm pretty sure from the 70s, is audibly more modern than the other records I've posted, a mournful (check the manly vocal tremblings!) tale of a trucker who's gone to that big truck stop in the sky, with a definite FUNK AND GOSPEL influence!
A double bill of truckin' action awaits you tomorrow, good buddies, and then check back at the weekend for the final sad instalment.
