The Doohickeys – “I Wish My Truck Was Bigger”
Americana Highways presents this premiere of The Doohickeys’ song “I Wish My Truck Was Bigger” from their forthcoming album All Hat No Cattle, which is slated for release in January. All Hat No Cattle was produced by Eric Corne and recorded at Love Street Sound Studio.
Musicians on “I Wish My Truck Was Bigger” are Haley Brown on vocals, backing vocals and acoustic guitar; Jack Hackett on rhythm guitar; Eugene Edwards on lead guitar; Ward Brown on pedal steel; Sasha Smith on organ; Adam Arcos on bass; and Matt Tecu on drums.
This is a “snap your fingers,” wholly upbeat song about how much truck size matters for achieving masculinity: “my Tacoma gets the job done, it’s kinda small so it ain’t that much fun but girls just laugh when I show ’em my ride, they don’t care about what’s on the inside.” Introducing a tongue-in-cheek, snappy and appealing song that centers squarely on fun.
This is a Tenacious D-inspired stadium ballad, blending soulful organ and pedal steel sounds reminiscent of a Luke Combs hit. Lead singer Jack humorously laments the woes of having a small ‘truck,’ while Haley offers sage advice, reminding him that “it’s the man behind the wheel, not the width of the tires.” With electrifying guitar riffs from Eugene Edwards (Dwight Yoakam) and reverb-heavy drums, this track boasts a larger-than-life sound that’s sure to fill any arena. And no, there is no double meaning. This song is solely about trucks. – The Doohickeys
