Road Trip Songs

[Fishfan]

Recently I took my Polara on a 300 mile round trip road trip for a family vacation. I burned a CD for the trip with some of my favorite automotive/road trip songs. Here's the playlist.



What are some of your favorites?

 

[67Monaco]

The Ballad Of Thunder Road - Robert Mitchum
Hot Rod Race - Jimmy Dolen
Hot Rod Lincoln - Johnny Bond
007 theme - Art of Noise
Johnny Law - Wayne Hancock


And I kick off every road trip with this;

 

[BIGBARNEYCARS]

I defy you to listen to Jessica by the Allman Brothers from start to finish without burying you right foot by the time you get to the end of that tune no matter what speed you started at when you hear it! Jer

Definitely picks up. Peter Gunn is awesome. I really like this one from my list:



Detomaso the night away!

I felt like Clark Griswold on that trip with the two blowouts and all.

I was never a truck driver, but this is always a favorite to hear when coming from after a long week working on the road.

Geez... I remember when Joe Bonomassa would play at the local bar. They called him "Smoking Joe" Bonomassa and he wasn't old enough to be in the bar by himself.

[BIGBARNEYCARS]

For the record guyz. This never really happened but several timez when I waz on I-80 east bound of Toledo goin' east or west bound of Toledo goin' west I'd get rappin' with some other driver on the 2 way and in a short lull in the conversation I'd all of ah sudden yell into the mike...Dam I gotta get off this big road and head north NOW! I Saw Mama standin' on ah overpass holdin' the bottom of her dress way up high and pointin' down at somethin' when I went underneath and I just realized what she waz pointin' at. I thought She waz jes wavin' hi 'cuz she knew I waz gonna be flyin' thru' but I know now what she waz tryin' tah tell me.... And then I'd turn off the 2 way and stuff some tarvlin' tunez in the player and just head on out for one coast or the other, HO HO HO, Yeah I'm ah twisted SOB, Jer

I can't drive the speed limit when Radar Love comes on the radio.

 

[Zymurgy]

Still probably my favorite whole album to play on the road. Riding with the King, Eric Clapton & B. B. King

You guy's apparently all need to fix you exhaust (to quiet if you can still hear the radio). I will give a thumbs up to Eastbound and down or just about any other Jerry Reed song, sometimes just better at night to keep the volume down let them sleep so you can keep it mashed.
