I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with Red and the boys. We would go to Lloyd Readings house for dinner. Oscar Whittington was my chaperone 😅. Banny Bannister was one of the funniest guys in the group but thats because he was the youngest, well besides me. But I was just there for entertainment for the boys because their wives had seen and been through all their games and I was fresh and easy to fool. Well thats what they were thinking untill about 10 minutes into passing the grub around and Os did something that was so out of character but was looking at the boys waiting for their reaction. He was looking at me sideways while passing the biscuits to Banny who was dieing laughing but Red was looking at Os and then me. So it was me that they were all ganging up on. Well I came back with words that were totally unexpected but completely delivered clean but sharp. And boy let me tell you the laughter was all on Os. Nope he wasn't going to throw me a stink bomb and laugh to tell about it. From there on the table was even all way around. I had passed the test and gained some respect all around. I was the only female seated at the table surrounded with legends whom star wasnt shinning anymore. I really didn't know it at the time but I was eating dinner with the Bakersfield Sound.
I’m an old punk from 80/90s and started loving country music a while back. Junior brown is awesome. Punk and metal are fun when you’re young. But if you love music, as you age your tastes expand and you realize country music is good. My play list is like razor, Kenny rogers, buckethead, junior brown, the cure, hank Williams jr. if it has guitar, good Melodies and good vocals ,I’ll take it
Rip : Red Simpson (6 march 1934 - January 8 2016) .... Red Simpson This is actually a duet with Red Simpson and Junior Brown in 1995 . Red Simpson originally recorded it on his 1966 album "Roll, Truck, Roll"
+Johnnralph Red was a good friend of mine. He was on my radio show every month for the last 10 years. I loved that man, and we miss him so much here in Bakersfield.
My hands started sweating and I knew I was losing my nerve. 36 ton of undetonated steel over 18 tires that smoked and squealed. I can see it happening. The guitar playing in this song is amazing.
So many rock and metal guitarists list Junior and other country players as influences and I hear and see it now. Jerry Reed has always been a big influence on me along with Roy Buchanon, Chett Atkins, Hank Garland and many other brilliant country players but this guy wow. Never heard of him until Dean Deleo of the Stone Temple Pilots mentioned him and I can def. hear Reed and Garland in Deleo.
I have always done pedal steel bends on guitar and implemented chickin pickin and other techniques but I see so much more I can absorb. George Jones is my favorite country singer. David Gilmour and Layne Staley for Rock. Those 3 I learned a lot from singing wise.
I was pullin' up a hill that's known as the Devil's Crest, Haulin' 36 ton on a run called the Nitro Express. There was nothin' but curves a runnin' from the top on down, And at the bottom of the grade sat a quiet little country town. Well, I was drivin' off the top when she jarred and the driveshaft broke, Started pumpin' up the brakes, saw 'em going in a big cloud of smoke.l To keep 'er upright ...I knew I had to do my best, Against a runaway bomb they call the Nitro Express. There was 36 ton of a detonated steel, Over 18 tires that smoked and squealed. I had to ride her down and I couldn't jump free, Or there'd be a big hole where that little town used to be. Well that old trailer leaned each time that I took another curve, My hands started sweatin' and I knew I was losin' my nerve. And I was cussin' each rock and every inch of the Devil's Crest, A fightin' with the wheel of a rig called the Nitro Express. I side-swipped a mountain so I'd slow her down by rubbin' her side, And when the sparks started flyin' man it looked like the 4th of July. I finally got her stopped ... but mister I'm a gonna confess, That's the last run I'm makin' in a rig called the Nitro Express. (Repeat - change last line to .Cause there'd be a big Hole where that little town used to be.
Hey Quackie - I was gettin' 'warmed up' for the NFL playoffs today & I go to see what's on my Rec list to kill some time from the TV commercials and guess what!? A great Junior Brown/Red Simpson cover tune I've never heard before! Just diggin' it! Thanks again, Quackie!
hahaha, thats cool man, im 17, ive been ridin with my dad on certain jobs for 17 years man, hahah, i love every second of it, my dads got 35 years of experience, im gonna be turnin 18 soon, i'll be a trucker too someday, i got the white line fever
I wonder how fast you could get an International gasoline V-220 up to if you disconnected the carburetor governor and ran it on 97% Nitromethane and 3% toluene (The "Surfers" AA/FD mix) . . . Say with an empty flatbed behind her.
Damn we just lost ol Red, I really regret we did not get a chance to see him live, I heard he played in the LA, San Diego area till he died, still time to catch JB
JB is so much more then a county artist. Chet Atkins said he is the best guitar player he ever saw! JB plays a mean surf guitar. I have never seen him live but I have heard he plays a bit chin surf medley.
1dislike? What's up with some people? I think this is the one and only person who has nothing better to do than dislike true talent. Same person everywhere? I wonder!
not sure why labeled "nitro express" starts with secret agent man and then into "venom wearing denim". The live shows are much better than the pre-recorded stuff. Have several posters I swiped from the doors/wall of venues he has played and a few autographs.

The ability to tell a story in song is remarkable and I pray it is never lost.
Jackson Brown , strange that the last names match , story tellers
I'm only 39 and I agree 👍💯 keep it up right
Red Sovine....he was another good one❤
He nothing like Red Sovine
I repost it on social media now and then to keep her going. Great sound to it like Roger Miller’s King of the Road
Junior Brown and good old Cornbread Red. Most excellent. Nitro is dangerous! K

I'm a heavy metal and hard rock fan but i've gotta say, this is some cool ass shit!
Metal is attitude, and this has it.
Hi Jason, where I'm from nobody admits to loving Country!
@@jonhelmer8591 what the hell kind of pussy is afraid to admit what kind of music they listen to? Pathetic!

The guitar playing in this song is amazing.

This was the song that kept me going when caring for my Mother. To keep her upright I knew I had to do my best. Found a lot of strength from this gem.
Junior Brown is doing what he should be doing !❤️
Junior Brown is the BOMB!
Mary Findley Hehe, the bomb hehe I laughed way more than I should have

The groove. It's all about the groove.
I drive flat bed and this song reminds me of all the no exhaust brake signs i see. U wanna a little noise or 40 tons in your livingroom
I drive OTR. These tunes really help the miles go by. And RIP Red, we are still out there
Best truck driving song yet
A nice tribute to the greatest trucking music man ever. Red Simpson. RIP Red.

Yeah baby this is the business right here... Junior Brown is where it's at
FInally some good ol' trucker music. Reminds a little of Dave Dudley.
Killer freakin song….. makes a guy wanna drive a truck ……

I’m surprised this is not on iTunes and I wish it was
kmcwhq--- He's saying "undetonated steel". Meaning cases of Dynamite hauled in a trailer made of steel.
Over 18 tires that smoked and squealed.
I wonder why this version of this song isn't on Spotify
God bless AMERICA!!
once you get the truckin in ya ,it's there to stay, red has some of the coolist truck songs,i've got'em all,thay never get old

You're 24 now. You driving?
That acoustic bass has the best sound in my opinion.
Roy Clark , one of my favorites , but Jr. is #1
This song remind anyone else of "Only Daddy That Will Walk The Line"?

Seriously good!
I never met Red ... but for some strange reason ... I sure do miss him.
Damn we just lost ol Red, I really regret we did not get a chance to see him live, I heard he played in the LA, San Diego area till he died, still time to catch JB
one of my favorite entertainers
Red Simpson is also on this.
Tom Page which makes it even better
Pure Americana...
That'some good shit
Junior,& Dale Watson ought to do a tribute to Red.That’d be awesome!
That Zoom Bass!

Nice!

This was genius!
Can anyone tell me if this guy tours the U.K........ Would love to see him in person, Andy.... NOTTINGHAM. His music is fab' . 31/ 12/ 2020.
JB is so much more then a county artist. Chet Atkins said he is the best guitar player he ever saw!
JB plays a mean surf guitar. I have never seen him live but I have heard he plays a bit chin surf medley.
I did see him live and it was a hell of a show.
AWESOME
WOW what a cool tune, thanks
Great sound
I haul gasoline in b trains...I can relate
Do one for Red,Junior.
1dislike? What's up with some people? I think this is the one and only person who has nothing better to do than dislike true talent. Same person everywhere? I wonder!
masterpiece
What exactly is "Detonated Steel"? lol........GREAT classic trucking song
"Undetonated steel..." A trailer that hasn't been blown up yet.
Great song! Reminds me of oakland bridge earthquake!
shafted me outa my story of dangerouse- trucking
Hello !!! Can You Tell me from what album strictly this song was release ??? Many Thanks !!!!
13 people don't know what it's like to haul 36 tons of detonated steel.
That's "undetonated steel" refers to a trailer filled with dynamite. The trailer being made of steel.
nah, it's a hell of a lot harder to haul detonated steel; no wheels, chassis like a pretzel, ...
I do my brother.Still doing it 10 4
@@billj4910 god bless you bill..I'll stick with hauling bees..at least i just get stung..lol
as long as it's only the driver sweating it may as well be 36T sawdust. But not the point. Killer song love that steel guitar.
There's nothing like going down a Big grade and miss a gear and can't get back in the right Hole. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Bravo maestro
Jr is an awesome ( probably top five ever guitarists), but he writes the same three songs. This song is " Highway Patrol".
He didn't write this song or Highway Patrol they were both Red Simpson songs.
what a coincidence, what kinda log truck do you have, motor, transmission, hp etc
good stuff!!!!
Bravo
Good song
Where do you purchase this song by junior brown? Help
red iz the shit!!!!!!
Good stuff

Shut up you negative asshole. Shut up and sit down asshole
Me faz lembrar dos filmes de James Dean.

Actually there is a product called Nitro Express,........bullets.
Where is the wall?😂🤣😂
