Red Simpson Truckers' Christmas 2x12” Black frontman Chad Kroeger's gritty voiceRed 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.
