Dave Dudley represented the time when country music was really country music and not the glossy pop that dominates today's country. This is one of the all time classics, sung superbly by Dave, as well as by Gram, Chris and the Flying Burrito Brothers.

I saw Dave Dudley twice, he was the nicest, kindest, most unassuming man in the world. I remember when he, Texas Bill Strength and Roy Drusky were the DJ's on KEVE in Minneapolis, they were all so great, was happy to learn they went on to stardom. I will always love Dave Dudley, his music was the greatest, not garbage like they make today. SHAME ON NASHVILLE, they should know better.

Although I doubt Dave would make it on Dancing with the Stars or What not to Wear (shows my wife watches) for me, this in just perfect.

Dave was a true Gentle man, I was lucky enough to play 7 shows in the back up

group, this guy was just total FUN. He loved the music, his fans and he treated

us as equals, unlike some of the stars my group backed. We will miss him and

his brand of straight ahead music that built the genre. Thanks DD. Your the tops!!

Did he smoke to get that killer foghorn voice of his? Seriously!!! Not being sarcastic here, Just wondering? Ernest Tubb had a pretty deep cavity too I think. I mean Dave's got one of those voices that says, "I just flush the toilet while coming out of the can with my pants up to my armpits.... so now its time to eat a few biscuits and gravy, while staring at that pretty young waitress I saw earlier, while spitin' some of that redman tabacco on this here truckstop sidewalk in front of me"

I love real country music too. Hank Williams, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Haggard, Waylon and Willie, Ray Charles made some beautiful country music too. But this garbage they try to pass off today: Alan Jackoff, Garth Smith, that big dumb mother fucker Tobie Keith.. They make me wanna vomit in my cowboy hat. If I wore one of those stupid fucking head gears.

@Imbalaya The "little white pills" were accepted as the norm for truckers back in the early '60s. But a Georgia Overdrive was (and still is) illegal in some states, and you could get hit with careless and imprudent driving just about anywhere if you had an accident or a truck runaway because you did a Georgia O.

By the time this was taped, pills were a no-no and it was probably best to leave out the illegal driving practice as well.
