I am headed to the wilds of Oregon for our annual “Rag Top Rally”, and would like to present a gift CD to my fellow travelers of great car & road trip songs. My list incudes: Deuce Coupe, Mustang Sally, Route 66, Pink Cadillac, Baby you can drive my car etc, but I’m looking for a broader selection. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated. ---

A personal favorite of mine is Traffic Jam by James Taylor. You should also check out the Easy Rider soundtrack. Any songs you like from that soundtrack could be included on your CD. ---

Paradise by the Dashboard Lights \>:) (very) (somewhat nerdy) broad mix: Cars by Gary Numan Stickshifts and Safety Belts by Cake. Going the Distance, also by Cake. Land of Race Car YaYa’s, again by Cake - good for traffic jams. Maybelline by either Chuck Berry or Simon and Garfunkel (concert in Central Park) Dead Man’s Curve by Jan & Dean Speedball Tucker by Jim Croce (ok, it’s trucks, but it’s a vehicle) Little GTO by Ronnie and the Daytonas Drivin’ My Life Away by Eddie Rabbit Low Rider by War And for real dork cred, get the theme from Knight Rider 😉 ---

“Mercury Blues” covered by many including Steve Miller Band and David Lindley if this is the same song that Alan Jackson covered recently then the version that Canned Heat did is fantastic. ---

Oh yeah, you should add Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”, just because it imparts invincibility and invulnernabilty on the listener for about four minutes. I think there may be black magic involved but it has never failed me. Nothing to do with driving except it’s a great song to drive while it’s playing. Dum dum dum, dum dum dum… ---

As much as I love kashmir I had never thought to consider it a car song, so since we are off topic you might enjoy Court of the Crimson King, ---
