Truckers Tracks
Truckers Tracks is the brainchild of singer/musician Doug Jones from Nashville, TN. It was born out of a request by film maker Mark Bush from Jamestown, New Mexico who films and makes DVDs of Show Trucks and over-the-road Big Rigs. “He was looking for music to put with his North American Show Truck DVDs,” Doug said, so we (he and his artist friends” compiled songs that had stories about trucking and life on the highway.”
Doug
started playing as a teenager, listening to all the great classic rock
bands like Led Zepplin, Cream, CCR, and the Alman Brothers. In his words, he’s
“an independent musician that is working hard to make a name for myself in this
crazy business, and I love to write songs that move and groove people.”
Some of the artists on the Truckers Tracks compilations are actual Big Rig drivers working everyday hauling goods across America, and they’ve collaborated with Alex Deborgorski of the hit show Ice Road Truckers on the third installment of the series.
“Volume three has been especially exciting for me for several reasons,” Doug said. “I was able to have real truckers on the disc to show how much real talent is out there on the road every day delivering the goods; and that they can deliver the goods in front of a microphone as well.”
