Road Music

In today's age of DSL's, burners, and mp3 engines, here are some suggestions for good road music. I'll leave out obvious ones, but I'll include some rare tracks for the kazaas, groksters, and limewires among us.


Bob Dylan-Santa Fe, One More Cup of Coffee, Hava Negilah Blues

The Gourds-El Paso

Paul Simon- Graceland (unplugged)

Sam Kinison- World Hunger skit

Neil Young-Unknown Legend, F**kin' Up (live acoustic)

Uncle Tupelo- Graveyard Shift, New Madrid

Jay-Z- I Just Wanna Love Ya

George Gershwin- Rhapsody in Blue

Kenny Rogers- Condition

Gomez- Las Vegas Dealer, California

Sinatra and Basie-Please Be Kind, Nice Work

Johnny Cash- Tennessee Stud,

Grateful Dead- Terrapin Station Suite, The Other One (live)

Beastie Boys- Brass Monkey

Kiss- Cold Gin (but don't get any ideas!)

Arlo Guthrie- Coming to Los Angeles

Counting Crows- Omaha (acoustic)

Metallica- Master of Puppets, And Justice For All

Miles Davis- Nefertiti

Mystikal- Danger

Billy Bragg- Accident Waiting to Happen (let's hope not!)

Wilco- Being There (Disc Two)

Billy Bragg and Wilco- Mermaid Ave (Vols I and II)

Wyclef Jean- Gone Till November (Radio Version)

Radiohead- Everything In Its Right Place

Nirvana- Lake of Fire (unplugged)

That should get you started. Don't forget to stock up on music and check your stereo, disc changer, cassette player for wear.

One album I've recently become hooked on is Tori Amos's "Scarlett's Walk" which is baswed on a premise of traveling the country. The soundmanages to really capture an "americanb" feel and flows beautifully

You should be ashamed my friend...
Dave Mathews and Tim Reynolds Live at Luther College should be tops on your list.

Well at least today... I know waht I am going to be traveling to tonight to set the day behind in this blizard picked up here in Madison, Wisconsin. How about some:

John Coletrain
Me First and the Gimme Gimme's
Tragically Hip - Ahead by a Century
Blues Travler - 100 years
Mark Naufler - Sailing to Philidelphia (with a little of James)
Pet Shop Boys (dance Mix)
Peter Gabriel - Salsbury Hill
Ben Harper - Burn one down
Da Da - John the Drummer
Gegy Ta - Whom ever you are? I want to thank you.....
Star Wars - Battle of the Ewoks. Nub Nub.... (sorry about this one)

That is the first time that song has hit this suggestion box --
