This Dale Watson album deserved a ton of attention and it barely received any. Fly Away, Everyone Knew But Me, and Sweet Jessie Brown are great.

Agreed, though I (of course) prefer the Steve Earle version.

Just gave it a listen...somehow I hadnt heard it before. It's excellent. I prefer the live Little Feat version.

Cruise by Florida Georgia Line.

Or really just anything by those two brilliant singer/songwriters. I celebrate their whole catalog.

I don't think the above post is sincere, but you never know round here. I will say "Round Here" is a pretty good song though.

Why? Because they played it in "Easy Rider"?

I disagree. It's a much as a truck driving song as a biker song.

It's a shitty song either way.

Either "Riders on the Storm" or "L.A. Woman" works, too.

Yes, both of those are fine examples of "truck driving songs" in the same way as Dan Fouts is an example of a top 5 QB of all time.

We talking pickups or 18-wheelers? Kick the Dust Up by Luke Bryan is a contender for either.

This is How We Roll is a bit on the nose but marries my two comments quite nicely. Honorable mention to Lee Brice for contributions to literalism with ‘I Drive Your Truck.’
