The Dirty Truckers got together back in 1999 when song writer Tom Baker chose to pursue a decidedly American rock n' roots direction. Drawing on kick-ass influences such as Cheap Trick, Steve Earle, and The Replacements, the Dirty Truckers rock hard and have a good time doing it. The band has culled together 22 tracks, hand picked over 4 releases, a vault of unreleasedrarities, covers, and brand new anthems of quality Americana for your listening pleasure. Landing somewhere between Lucero and the Faces, Best of is a cross-cutting mix of straightup rockers and soul searching ballads. This is the next chapter in the bands cross-country rock odyssey, proving that The Dirty Truckers are still true originals.
