About "Open Road"
Road trips mean different things to different people. For you and me, they're an adventure. You just need a full tank of gas, a big cup of coffee, some great music and the Open Road. But to a long-haul driver, it's another story. I met a trucker once and we started talking about the road. I said, it must be hard being away from family. He admitted it was, but surprised me by saying his phone keeps them connected. He and his kids video-chat after school, during games and before bed; if they have a problem, they know they can call him anytime. So no matter where he is, he's always there when they need him. That was a real eye-opener. After we spoke, I watched him get back in his truck with his dog. It reminded me of my old dog Smokey — he loved to howl — so I put him in the song too. The dog in the video is actually my friend Anna’s dog Jack. He got the gig after I visited her and found out sirens make him howl. During the shoot, Jack was a bit nervous at first. He had never been in a big 18-wheeler and we were on the 401 near Windsor, one of the busiest highways in Canada. But after about 15 minutes he hopped onto Trucker Phil's lap. We played a siren on the phone and off he went. His howling was so much fun, we all joined in! My co-pilot for this trip, Neilson Hubbard, produced the song, sings background vocals and his video production company — Neighbourhoods Apart — helped capture the feel of being out on the Open Road. So fill up your tank, grab your coffee, crank it up and get ready to howl!
