Song 66 ( C.W. McCall - Convoy )

After picking East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed yesterday, I decided to pick songs on a theme this week.
This is fun song to listen to about a bunch of outlaw truckers busting their way through the fuzz to get to their destination. In a lot of C.W. McCall's work he talksings and this one is done as if it was a conversation going over the CB radio. The choruses, in my opinion leave something to be desired and come off a bit cheesy. The music is good, however the song focuses on the vocals almost completely so the musicianship takes a bit of a hit but is still pretty good.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Hear the British version/parody of Convoy on YouTube.
