You Auto Have a Merry Christmas: trucksmas-1

18-wheelers are to cars what space shuttles are to piper cubs. But let’s allow them right of way here because there’s a semi-full of cool Christmas songs about truckin’.

I’ll start out with the heat. ‘Convoy’ was a song from the ’70s and got many a cover and reinterpretation, including today’s “Christmas Convoy.” Paul Brandt goes Morning Zoo with sfx and overly dramatic line readings for his. I prefer Mike Austin’s tribute to CW McCall’s gigantic country crossover hit (how many songs get movies made about them?). 12-25, good buddy.
