This week on Lead Pedal Radio we went back in time to explore the history of the billboard, a staple in the trucking industry. We also showcase industry legend Del Reeves, showcase our new artist Teddy Rowe, and feature The Thompson Band, our Preferred Artist of the Week.
Ever get distracted by a sign on the highway? In 1965, Del Reeves took that exact feeling straight to #1 on the country charts with “Girl on the Billboard.”
This week on Chords and Chrome, we’re diving into the history of outdoor advertising and the story behind one of trucking music’s greatest humour-filled hits!
In this clip from Chords and Chrome, we dive into the story behind Del Reeves, the iconic country artist who brought “Girl on the Billboard” to the top of the charts in 1965. Known for his charismatic stage presence and high-octane trucker hits, Reeves became a staple of classic country and 18-wheeler culture.
🎧 Listen and tell us: What’s the most unforgettable billboard you’ve ever passed on a road trip?
