Tony Justice and '18 Gears to Life' -- the trucking behind, inside the music


Listen Later

For longtime Overdrive Radio listeners he will need no introduction whatsoever, but for the rest of you, the artist you'll hear straight away in this edition of the podcast is none other than Tony Justice. The Everhart Transportation driver, singer, songwriter and performer's recent history reaches back more than a decade now to the date of his first solo trucking-themed record, called "On the Road." This year, he’s out with his fifth, "18 Gears to Life."
While Justice was in Nashville recently for a video shoot for the "War Paint" single from the record, he sat down Overdrive for a freewheeling talk through a variety of tracks on the record, his first in four years. The studio work on it was interrupted by the COVID pandemic last year. The year before that, as you’ll hear, Justice’s wife, Misty, waged a war against breast cancer that has likewise taken a toll on the music efforts.
At once, the emotion of the experience has inspired the pair forward in several ways.
The new record is a great listen, it’s no doubt. Production values were boosted by the ability to afford more studio than usual, Justice told us, with help from trucking sponsors like TBS Factoring Service, DPF Regeneration, Bull Snot products, and another that’s perhaps the most important of all -- the real support of professional truckers all around the country who are Justice's biggest fans.
