MEMORIAL DAY WITH RED SIMPSON AND SUPER CHIKAN
For the first road holiday of the year, we speak with country stalwart Red Simpson. Though the only truck he'd ever driven was for Good Humor, Simpson was recruited by Capitol Records to sing about the trucking life, scoring hits like "The Highway Patrol" and "I'm a Truck." Also a visit with a former truck driver, now yodeling Mississippi bluesman Super Chikan! Steady at the wheel!
MEMORIAL DAY
For Memorial Day, the first road holiday of the year, we speak with Red Simpson, who despite his not-quite-ready-for-the-Teamsters credentials (the only truck he'd driven was for Good Humor) was recruited by Capitol Records to sing trucking songs in the mid-60s. He went onto record great road songs like "The Highway Patrol" and "I'm a Truck."
