EU five CD box set from the cult Country great with 108 page hardcover book, The very best recordings from a giant of the Bakersfield scene ... a scene that gave us Merle Haggard and Buck Owens, and inspired Dwight Yoakam and many others. Bob Dylan called Red Simpson 'the forgotten man of Bakersfield.' Merle and Buck recorded over 40 of Red Simpson's songs! The set includes 26 previously unissued songs. Nearly all of the other recordings are previously unissued on CD! Most have been unavailable since the '70s and '80s! Red Simpson made a name for himself in country music with a string of blacktop anthems like 'Roll Truck Roll', 'The Highway Patrol', 'Diesel Smoke', 'Dangerous Curves', 'Country Western Truck Drivin' Singer', 'Awful Lot To Learn About Truck Drivin', and 'Truck Driver's Heaven'. He popularized the romanticized image of the trucker as a modern-day cowboy of the open road. But there was much more to Red Simpson... Bear Family.

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.

Released in 1967, Red Simpson’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.

Red Simpson’s aiming his 18-wheeler towards the friendly glow of home and hearth, and pulling into town just in time for Christmas with the family. How much better can it get than Truckers’ Christmas, Red Simpson’s classic 1973 album, stuffed to the busting point with Yuletide cheer (and maybe just a little bit of the wintertime blues)? It’s Bakersfield-school trucker’s rock as it was meant to be heard: spring, summer, fall... and winter. All year long.
