| | Truck Drivin' Superhits CD
This is one curious and frustrating collection. While it's true that there are any number of great cuts here and some real trucker anthems, why is it that only some of these are done by the original artists, and what makes "Harper Valley P.T.A." by Jeannie C. Riley (surely a great country song) a trucker tune? The good stuff first: Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job and Shove It" is here, as is Ferlin Husky's "Truck Drivin' Blues," Dave Dudley's "Truck Drivin' Son of a Gun," and Jimmy Dean's "Big Bad John." No problems there. Yet someone has to explain why Boxcar Willie is covering C.W. McCall's "Convoy" and Red Sovine's utterly indisputable "Phantom 309"? What the hell is Kenny Rogers' version of "Elvira" doing here as a funk tune? Thankfully there is an excellent version of "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" by Freddy Fender to offset that tragedy. All in all this feels like a rip; it's half good and half crap. There are better ways for the knights of the road to spend their hard earned money. ~ Thom Jurek Truck Drivin' Superhits Music Truck Drivin' Superhits Songs Truck Drivin' Superhits Review

Truck Drivin' Superhits music CDs
$34.29 Lonnie Johnson was best known for his tonally beautiful guitar playing, but he was also a fine singer and songwriter, and pretty adept on violin, piano, banjo, mandolin, harmonium, and bass as well. Equally at home in the blues or the jazz world (he worked with artists as raw as Texas Alexander and as polished as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington), Johnson's life as a professional musician began in the mid-'20s and stretched all the way into the 1960s, when his career was given an autumnal boost during the folk/blues revival. This four-disc 95-track box from Proper moves chronologically through Johnson's peak years with commercial labels, beginning with his prolific OKeh years, which are covered on the first two discs (highlights include several elegant instrumentals, a particularly fine solo version of W.C. Handy's "Careless Love," and some amazing duets with jazz guitarist Eddie Lang) and conclude on the third disc, the first part of which covers Johnson's last years with the label (he was released from his contract in 1932). After moving to Chicago, Johnson signed with Decca in 1937, and his amazing solo guitar performance called "Swing Out Rhythm" is included here from the Decca stay. In 1939 Johnson moved to RCA Victor's Bluebird imprint, and those sides round out the third disc and begin the fourth. In 1947, having switched from acoustic to electric guitar, Johnson left Bluebird, and after tracking some sides for Moe Asch's ...
