About The Record:

King of the Road is an album by Lecil Travis Martin, stage name Boxcar Willie, was an American country music singer-songwriter and Air Force personnel sergeant, who sang in the "old-time hobo" music style, complete with dirty face, overalls, and a floppy hat. "Boxcar Willie" was originally a character in a ballad he wrote, but he later adopted it as his own stage name. Album liner notes say, "This Album you are holding in your hand is Box-Car's personal tribute to Britain where he feels as much at home as he does in Texas. Here are 20 songs, newly recorded in Nashville and backed by many of the finest musicians in that fair city...Altogether, this is one truly fine Album from the 'King of the Road,' Box-Car Willie."
