Hop in the cab and buckle up cause this week we've got our first Truckin' themed episode of B&S 2.0. 

From Beantown to Dawson City, Yukon and all points in-between, we've got truck-drivin' country music spanning six decades. Some predictable cuts and some you've maybe never heard before. Songs you'd expect to hear but by artists you may not have expected to hear them from. We've even managed to squeak in a regional round-up of "lost" Canadian country artists singing some truckin' classics.
