I have always loved the sound of how this song was recorded. This has always often been hailed as the definitive celebration of the American truck driver. Over time there have been several truck driving songs done by Merle Haggard, CW McCall, Alabama, Red Sovine, just to mention a very few....Dave Dudley strikingly captures the sense of boredom, danger and swaggering masculinity that often accompanies long-distance truck driving. His macho interpretation, with its rock-and-roll overtones, is perfect for the song. The slight reverb, the background singers who seem to recreate the sound of doppler or possibly the revving of an engine, and the quick picking six string guitar makes one to find a late 50s Peterbuilt and maybe recreate a scene from the movie Duel :)
