Old 'Road Rat' is back on Bigloryblog and 'looking at the world through a windscreen' (and for a pie what hippy country rock band recored that song on their album 'Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers' Favourites" ? And I defy The Old Vic to know that one without Google!) ever since he migrated to a new life and truck-driving job in Canada which takes him into the good old US of A regularly running along roads like this - and take BLB's word for it, this isn't the same picture, although it IS the same road!
Keith says: "Mr Shiers posted some great roads of the world. Well here are three photos of the same 100-mile stretech of the US-93 Interstate at the top of Nevada. But there are so many in the US just like that. Miles and miles of straight roads, sometimes they put a bend in, just to wake u up. But enjoy them all the same. Oh, and you wouldn't get the same traffic there, as you do here..." now click through here for a Freaky Freightliner spotted by old RR...
Looks like something out of 'Electraglide in Blue'...
"Any way, I found this Freekliner the other day," says RR. "A very nice cabover just like the ones they use down under, I think? Regards RR. And you can make his day by sending him an e-mail at revellclan@shaw.ca.
Answer: Commander Cody. Though Son Volt did a great rendition on the "Feeling Minnesota" soundtrack. And they're all just covers of a Del Reeves song written by Jerry Chesnut and Mike Hoyer.
More than you really wanted to know, I suppose.
Brian,
To answer the question posed in this entry, the album Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers' Favourites was recorded by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen! Remembered from a old country music book I read ages ago!
