The reason the CD has 23 instead of 24 is a CD only holds 700 MB of information. If you put all 24 songs it runs just over the 700 MB threshhold. Unfortunate as that is, because I love "The Gear Jammer and the Hobo". However you can find that song on the 2 CD collection called "Legends of Road Music" , the record label is "King". That collection has all the songs from Road Music and then some.
Now onto the music. I found this on tape in the early 90's when I was still a truck driver. I wore the tape out because I listened to it so much. Without a doubt it is my favorite country album ever made. For lack of a better word it is nostalgic. I am in my early 30's so the times that these tracks were laid down were well before I was born, yet they paint pictures of time when the world was a lot slower and family was the heart of America.
When I listen I get the yearning for a slower pace. It makes me want to fire up my old CB and give a break one nine call.
My 1 year old daughter loves this album as well. She gets the biggest kick out of the old sound and wiggles and jiggles her [...] with every song.
This is some of the best music and rarely heard music one could hear in a life time.

First of all the record was first released in 1978, also there are 24 tracks on the original album, I know this as I am sitting here looking at the cover of the album. The song your missing is The Gearjammer and the Hobo by Red Sovine with/Archie Campbell.
Other than that I can find no flaws in the listing that you have provided except for the lack of a picture of the album cover.
The music on this version of Road Music is great. I listened to this album (vinyl) when I was about 16 years old, and it does bring back a lot of good memories. Every now and then I pull out the record and listen to it. I was hoping to find it on CD.
