The Truk Traks Album cover picture was shot at the East-West Truck Terminal in Orange County during a strike by the Teamsters. The L. A. P. D. was called by the security dude, who was not told we had permission to shoot the pictures. Some friends (pictured left) straightened out the situation for us.
Truk, originally called No Large Trucks, were a hard rock band from Oklahoma, who played a high energy form of 70's rock complete with awesome guitar/organ interplay (a la Deep Purple), and layered vocal harmonies. All tunes are original compositions with the exception of a cover of Gun's Yellow Cab Man.
'The song Max was named for a bartender in Tulsa that did not like LOUD music. We were playing in an very long and narrow club and the bar was directly across from the bandstand. Max would continually ask us to "Turn down". Plus, he really hated loud drums. So, when we came up with this song, we named it for him. Glenn and I came up with the original 'licks'; Danny added drum solos, etc.. We actually arranged it in the studio. The vocals were added later. MAX was recorded with the original producer, Sonny Knight.' J. Martin (Moby) Anderson, bassist
