Trucking music has been a staple of the industry since the 1930s. On Lead Pedal Radio we went back in time to talk about the nostalgia and history behind the music.
This week, we’re burning rubber through the history of trucking music and honouring the man who put the soul in the semi—the one and only Red Simpson. Whether you’re a long-hauler or just a fan of the open road, this is a ride you don’t want to miss!
We also showcased trucking music legend Red Simpson. We pay tribute to the “Bard of Bakersfield,” Red Simpson.
Red Simpson didn’t just sing about the road—he lived it through his lyrics, becoming the definitive voice of the trucking industry for decades. We dive into the history of his iconic sound, his legendary storytelling, and how his music helped shape the culture of the highway for drivers across North America.
From “I’m a Truck” to “Roll, Truck, Roll,” discover why Red Simpson’s legacy remains a permanent fixture in the hearts and cabs of professional drivers everywhere.
