My Dad, sister and I use to listen to this tape and sing along with it. I love Red Sovine but am not a big Country music fan. It is the trip down memory lane that gets me every time.

If you don't own anything by the late, great Red Sovine you are out of your mind. Songs about ghosts, trucks, and crippled kids. All recited in a way-too-heartfelt manner. Phantom 309 is the story of a hitchiker named "Big Joe" who hitches a ride from a trucker. Turns out he was a GHOST! Tom Waits even covered this one once.

this is for sure one of the best red sovine albums there is out there, i have it and i play it almost everyday. i could never ger tired of red sovine's voice he is truley the king od truckin' music. and he will always be. if you aint moved by red when you listen to his classics like getty up go. teddy bear.phantom 309, and others then you dont have a soul. he's the best of the best. in any form. only wish there was daddy's girl, on here. but its still great. a happy customer,

Breaker,....... breaker 1-9, this is one one heckuva record comin' on down the line.

Just the other day, I was sippin' some coffee. Havin some ham and biscuits. Trucker friend of mine was rachet-jawin at the other table down the row. He went on and on about Red Sovine, how he touched his heart, seemed to know his soul like the back of his hand.

We-ee-ell, I just had to listen for myself. I went to the nickel and dime and picked me up a dusty 76 of ole Red.

I have to confess, I struggled to chase down a lump in my throat that just wouldn't go down as I heard Red speaking straight to me. I realized I had been a crippled man, until his miraculous voice came down and lifted me up.

I only wish I'd a had the chance to play it for Little Joe, my crippled dog who passed on just the other day. Poor little fella got crushed crossing the road in the blindin' snow. He was like family, you see.

Aaaaaaww, I guess Red filled a void in my life. I let ole Red ride me up and down the Interstate and the hours just seem to fly by.

God Bless America, and-- Catch ya 'gain!!
