Same here! Stereo exhaust and wind noise only.
Listened to most of it today at work while driving around and really enjoyed it.
Thanks, that was a cool idea,

It is a great CD Gary. Listened to it several times on the way home and it will be traveling many miles w/ me on the big truck for sure. Thanks.

Thanks guys! I need to give credit where credit is due. Gerry Allen helped me out a bunch on the liners and stickers on the discs. They would not have looked anywhere that good if he hadn't helped me, so a lot of the credit goes to him for the artwork. You will notice my picture on the inside has the name of a band on it. The Brandon Clark Band is a bunch of guys out of Tulsa, Oklahoma who I know very well and the two cuts by them on the CD are some of my favorites. I thought they both belonged on there. They come to town about once or twice a month and I try and catch them where ever they are playing in town. My cousin plays drums for them and they are a great group of guys on and off stage. Would be way cool to have them come play at SS5. TR

Know what you mean, Lance.
'Ol Dave Dudley had the original and it played on jukeboxes
all over the land for decades. I strongly considered using it on
the cd, but the sound quality of the old recording was so scratchy
and had so much background noise and hiss in it I opted to use
one I found by Steve Earle. There were quite a few others available
to use such as Sawyer Brown and the Flying Burrito Brothers just
as an example. It took me several months to put the songlist together
and even after I had it done and had burned all of them I had another
song I wanted to add, or substitute for one already on there.
Oh well, It was fun doing them anyway. TR

My truck is so noisy that I can't even hear me think, much less listen to the radio or a CD player they I don't have. I will play the CD tonight and let it lull me to sleep. Looks like many really great trucking songs on it.
