Just arrived, a 1952 Gibson SJ-200 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar Formerly owned and played extensively by Dave Dudley!⠀ In the annals of country music, Dave Dudley occupies a special place. His 1963 hit recording "Six Days on the Road" remains the definitive truck driving anthem, and is credited with launching "Trucker Music" as a distinct sub-genre of American country. The song has since been covered many times, and is still a bar-band staple all over the world today. ⠀ ⠀ Dudley had more sizable hits, including "Truck Drivin' Son Of A Gun" and "The Pool Shark"; by the late 1970s, he had amassed 33 Top 40 Country hits. His career slowed after that, but his legend remains intact, especially tied to his first hit song and the "Truckin'" genre in particular. Dudley passed away in 1993, but "Six Days On The Road" has achieved country immortality, re-recorded by (among others) Johnny Rivers, Steve Earle, and Sawyer Brown. ⠀ #guitarporn #guitarlove #ギター #guitar #guitare #guitarra #gitarr #gitarre #gitarren #guitarsofinstagram #retrofret #brooklyn #vintageguitars #vintageguitar #retrofretvintageguitars #gowanus #chitarra #gitar #davedudley #sixdaysontheroad #truckermusic #gibsonsofinstagram #sj200 #gibsonsj200 #gibsonj200 (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars)
