5.0 out of 5 stars 2 classic albums from a Bakersfield Sound pioneer, July 27, 2001

This review is from: Man Behind The Badge/Roll, Truck, Roll (Audio CD)

This CD is a twofer of these albums from 1966, remastered from 1999: "The Man Behind The Badge" which is an album of songs about police and the law and features "Highway Patrol" a top 40 hit for Red which would later be covered by Junior Brown, the classic "Johnny Law" and others, and "Roll, Truck, Roll", an album of songs about trucks and truck driving, his forte, which features the hit title track and others which the majority of the album, minus "Big Mack," "My Baby's Waitin'" and "Runaway Truck" are on Razor & Tie's US domestic anthology "The Best of Red Simpson: Country Western Truck Drivin' Singer." The liner notes and packaging are well done as they basically reproduce the front and back covers of the original vinyl issues of both albums and the sound quality is top notch. No bonus tracks are added as the albums speak for themselves. A classic CD for all Bakersfield Sound and truck driving country music fans.

I grew up listening to this album (and others), that my Dad listened to while he was home off the road during his trucking career.
I think the album: "Man Behind The Badge", was a masterpiece for Red Simpson.
