365 Days #221 - I Believe He's Gonna Drive That Rig to Glory (mp3s)
MP3:
I Believe He's Gonna Drive That Rig to Glory (3:59)
Here's a song I thought would be interesting to all you fellow 365 Days listeners. It's a country truck-driving tune called "I Believe He's Gonna Drive That Rig to Glory", sung by Craig Donaldson with "Narration by: Ralph Harrison."
The reason I think this is interesting is because of the similarity between Ralph Harrison, the narrator of this song, and the narrator in "Dryclean When You Care", #146 of 2003. I don't know if it's the same guy, but the similarities are there.
This is actually the B-side of the 45. The "plug side" is a shorter version without Ralph's narration. I hope to be putting more stuff here in the future!

For those who don't know - and I just found this out last night - the song for March 31, "Going to the Sun", is performed by the same singer and narrator!

I think the narration is by Ralph Harrison. The song is available on itunes but without the spoken part. The spoken part is available separately. Your MP3 has better sound quality than that version.
