Songwriter and Arkansas Private Investigator, Mark Taylor, Teams with Truck It Records’ Joey Holiday for Another Hit Song
The Taylor Company’s Mark R. Taylor, private investigator and analyst, has teamed with Truck It Records’ recording artist, Joey Holiday, for the third time to create what XM Radio’s Dave Nemo describes as “a masterpiece”.
Holiday and Taylor teamed up for the previously released “American Truckers at War”, which chronicled Taylor’s experiences as a convoy commander in Iraq and “Ode to Juan and Moe”, a YouTube hit that warned of the dangers of the Mexican Truck Pilot Program. When Holiday approached Taylor to write a song about outlaw truckers, Taylor had personal inspiration and “Three Licenses, Four Logbooks and a Thermos Made of Chrome” is the result.
His father-in-law, Jim “Skyhawk” Rodgers was an “outlaw trucker” of days gone by. The 1970s were a time of “Smokey and the Bandit” and “Convoy” and “Skyhawk” lived the part. Taylor said of “Skyhawk”, “He was a colorful character who fit the mold to a tee. Holding licenses from Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois, he relished the life of a trucker when the highways were more like the wild, wild, west compared to the rules and regulations we have in the industry today.”
Taylor is no stranger to the trucking industry. With a career that spans over twenty years from a trucking company owner/operator to a convoy commander in Iraq, his expertise in the field has made The Taylor Company, based in Bradley County, Arkansas, “the trucking investigators”.
“Three Licenses, Four Logbooks and a Thermos Made of Chrome” is an emotion-filled ballad that became an instant hit after its premier on The Dave Nemo Show on XM Satellite Radio. Holiday’s CD, “Joey Holiday – Outlawed” can be pre-ordered at www.joeyholiday.com/music.
