Cledus Maggard & The Citizen's Band - The White Knight

In my never ending quest for all LP's dealing with Big Rigs and C.B.'s I came across this gem in my local record shop's value bin. Dating from 1976 Cledus Maggard brings us a quality album filled with tons of C.B. lingo based lyrics and comedic toned vocals. A must have for anyone into funny country songs or trucker songs in general. The album cover alone is classic in itself with Cledus portraying his many characters that appear through out the songs.

Tom T. Hall - Homecoming - 1969

Funny that I'm dropping another country album as I'm not a huge country music fan but I just love this style of country and of course the great songwriter Tom T. Hall. Tom has written hundreds of songs and I first discovered him from a trucker song compilation LP. I rarely run into and full lengths by him but happened upon this one at our downtown area's sidewalk sales one Saturday afternoon. The lyrics on this album are just classic and also I really like the crossover psychedelic song Strawberry Farms. The cover photo is great as well and not your typical "country" image. This album dates from 1969 and sorry for the small skip on the first track side A.

Boogie Boys - Romeo Knight

After a few month hiatus I'm bringing you the third LP from Harlem Hip-Hop group the Boogie Boys "Romeo Knight" from 1988. The Boogie Boys had a hit in 1985 with the track "A Fly Girl" a second album in '86 and soon after Lil' Raheim left the group and the duo of Boogie Knight & Romeo J.D. drop this album on their own. This may not be an all time classic but there are definitely a few nice tracks through out. Enjoy! Original vinyl rip @ 320 mp3.
