The life of the American trucker has been portrayed in Hollywood movies, television shows and of course, through out country music stations for years. Who hasn’t heard the trucking hit songs such as:
- “18 Wheels” – Kathy Mattea
- “King of the Road” – Roger Miller
- “Teddy Bear” – Red Sovine
- “Six Days on the Road” – Dave Dudley, and of course:
- “Convoy” by C. W. McCall
Without a doubt, Nashville recording artists have always had a fascination with truckers and the lifestyle they lead. That fascination is still alive and well.
Singer-songwriters, Barry Allen of Lyles, Tennessee and David Ayers of Atlanta, Georgia, along with John Johnson, owner of Johnson Brothers Studio in Atlanta, have teamed together, once again focusing on bringing the trucking industry back into the public eye. Currently producing a new CD release, “All About Trucking” – the trio seeks to describe the lifestyle and struggles of the men and women of trucking.
One single, (What They Gonna’ Do) When the Big Rigs Don’t Roll is already receiving favorable reviews from listeners all across the web, showing signs of a Nashville hit:

Truckers keep America moving, yet they receive far less of the respect and appreciation they deserve. Contact your local radio stations and let them know that you want to hear “When the Big Rigs Don’t Roll” on the airwaves. Let Nashville know that this trucking song should be on country music radio stations across the U.S. You can download the hot tune and show your support for our nation’s truckers.
If you would like to help sponsor the CD project, you can contact Barry Allen through his FaceBook page.
