I've got to say that Honky-Tonk is probably the most fun sub-genre of country music, and Diffie was all about it. His biggest hits I can remember all had this same kind of fun, line-dancing sound. This one is my favorite just because of the clever lines throughout the song. Where else would you find a line that refers to the romantic glow of a truck's cargo light? Somewhere along the way, we lost our interest in making country music truly clever and funny, but I digress...
Following the title track of his album Third Rock from the Sun, "Pickup Man" became Diffie's most enduring hit. It spent four weeks in that #1 spot on the country charts.
