Truckin'
"Truckin'" is a song by the Grateful Dead, which first appeared on their 1970 album ''American Beauty''. It was recognized by the United States Library of Congress in 1997 as a national treasure.〔''Grateful Dead: The Illustrated Trip'' . Jake Woodward, et al. Dorling Kindersley Limited, 2003, pg. 112.〕
Written by band members Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, and lyricist Robert Hunter, "Truckin'" molds classic Grateful Dead rhythms and instrumentation〔Emblematic of the Grateful Dead sound that gained them four albums in the ''Rolling Stone'' 500 greatest albums list within the 1968-1970 period, a list they did not appear on again.〕 with lyrics that use the band's misfortunes on the road as a metaphor for getting through the constant changes in life. Its climactic refrain, "What a long, strange trip it's been," has achieved widespread cultural use in the years since the song's release.
==Music==
"Truckin'" is associated with the blues and other early 20th century forms of folk music.〔''Jazz Dance: The Story of American Vernacular Dance'' by Marshall Stearns and Jean Stearns, De Capo Press, 1994 ISBN 0-306-80553-7.〕
"Truckin'" was considered a "catchy shuffle" by the band members.〔''Garcia: An American Life'' by Blair Jackson, Penguin Books, 1999, pg. 197.〕 Garcia himself commented that "the early stuff we wrote that we tried to set to music was stiff because it wasn't really meant to be ''sung'' ... the result of (Robert Hunter getting into our touring world ), the better he could write ... and the better we could create music around it."〔 The communal, shared-group-experience feel of the song is brought home by the participation of all four of the group's chief songwriters (Garcia, Weir, Lesh, and Hunter), since, in Phil Lesh's words, "we took our experiences on the road and made it poetry," lyrically and musically. He goes on to say that "the last chorus defines the band itself."〔''Phil Lesh: Searching for the Sound'' by Phil Lesh, Little, Brown and Company, 2005, pg. 191.〕
