Complete road songs list

Bread's "Truckin'" comes to mind.

John Denver's "Matthew" ("gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field, blue was just a Kansas summer sky")

And our family favorite, the song "Oklahoma" (from Rodger & Hammerstein's musical of the same name) as one crosses the state line into that state.

"Deep in the Heart of Texas" or "Yellow Rose of Texas" when traveling through that state.

"City of New Orleans" (either Arlo Guthrie or John Denver)

"St Louis Blues" (almost any version) as one pulls into St Louis

"Chicago" and "New York, NY" (Frank Sinatra) as you pull into either of those cities.

I was at a Chris Murphy concert over the weekend. Chris draws inspiration and expertise from a variety of disciplines and traditions. His violin rips and weaves through compositions that are both original and yet feel familiar and comfortable like well-loved bluegrass standards of old.

Two albums I really am intrigued by are:

"Boat Songs" and "Red Mountain Blues"

You can listen to some of his tunes here.
