Truck driving country is a Country music style derived from Honky Tonk, Country Rock and Bakersfield Sound aimed at the truck driving community. The music usually has a driving beat to suit the uptempo of speeding truckdrivers, and the lyrics focus around trucks and the drivers everyday life. The genre went mainstream in the late 1970s when the CB phenomenon hit pop culture with the success of films like "Convoy" and "Smokey and the Bandit". Well-known artists includes Dave Dudley, Red Sovine, Dick Curless, Red Simpson and Dale Watson.
