Simpson, Red


Roll, Truck, Roll, Simpson's 1966 Capitol debut LP, mixed popular trucker anthems with new material like the title song. Penned by Bakersfield icon Tommy Collins, "Roll, Truck, Roll" reached #38 nationally, with this album hitting #7 on Billboard's Top country LP charts. While 1967's Truck Drivin' Fool continued the focus of his debut album: examining the good and the treacherous, the amusing and'sobering sides of trucker life. Today, Simpson, considered a Bakersfield legend, continues performing around his hometown.
