"Mother Trucker" was a hidden track on Shaver's "highway of life". You
have to search backwards after hitting play for the 1st track.

re the American/alt-country's rosy future question: I'd be curious to see
what people who have been in the biz (say 10 years or so) have to say about
whether or not the Americana format has helped boost sales/attendance at
shows/general recognition of bands and artists on the scene. i.e. would
the Derailers have done better/worse if they had come along ten years ago.
Also did bands like Green on Red, Long Ryders, Blasters etc. sell better than
their current country-rock counterparts?
