    As a big fan of all things Trucker's, I was really dissapointed with this outing. I wasn't surprised to find out most of these songs were done around the same time as The Big To-Do. I'm assuming these didn't make the original cut. I can see why. Used To Be A Cop is a standout, but the rest are mediocre at best.
