Dave Dudley - Six Days On The Road & Other Truck Drivin Classic
Dave Dudley has played baseball, had many of his own radio
shows and has formed 3 bands over the period from 1950 until
present. The Dave Dudley Trio lasted for seven years, followed by
a group called The Country Gentlemen, and then The Roadrunners
in 1964. He has also played the Grand Ole Opre.
His hits started in the early ´60s with ‘Maybe I Do’ (top 30), and
‘Under Cover of the Night’ (top 20) followed by ‘Six Days On
The Road’, which became a massive success, peaking at #2 on the
country charts, making the pop top 40 and turning Dave Dudley
into a star.
A string of releases followed including: ‘Last Day in the Mines’,
‘Truck Drivin´ Son-Of-A-Gun’, ‘Trucker´s Prayer’, ‘Anything
Leaving Town Today’, ‘There Ain´t No Easy Run’(top 10), and
‘Two Six Packs Away’. His top 10 hit ‘Mad’ stayed on the chart
for over 4 months.
Successes flowed during the 60´s with further hits, ‘Lonelyville’,
‘Long Time Gone’, ‘My Kind Of Love’, (all top 15), ‘Truckers
Prayer (top 25), ‘I Keep Coming Back for More (top 15), ‘Please
Let Me prove (My Love for You) (top 10), ‘One More Mile’ (top
15) and ‘George (and the North Woods)’ (top 10).
During the early ´70s, he released ´Comin´ Down’ and ‘Fly Away
Again’. He managed to put out 3 gold records during the ´70s, but
by the end of the ´80s, Dave was no longer a presence on the charts.
His last hit single was 1980´s ‘Rolaids, Doan´s Pills and
Preparation H’. Although Dave did not record much during the
´80s & ´90s he remained a popular concert draw.
