Red, White & Blue Collar is the second and final album by American country music band Gibson/Miller Band. It was released in 1994 via Epic Records. The album includes a cover of Waylon Jennings' "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys", which also served as its first single. This version of the song was also featured on the soundtrack to the film The Cowboy Way. The title track was the album's only other single.[1]
Mark Wills later recorded "Sudden Stop" on his 1996 self-titled debut.
CD Review reviewed the album favorably, stating that "The clever lyrics and unpretentious musicianship on Red, White, & Blue Collar are so reminiscent of a juke joint on a Saturday night that you can almost smell the sawdust on the floor."[2]
