There is no better time for a playlist than when you are on the road just watching the pavement fly by. A few of these songs I would listen to on no other occasions, but a road trip just would not be the same without them. So, here you go:
Convoy- C.W. McCall
Nobody except for CW McCall could write an entire album about truckin'. On the same tune, nobody except for me would own this album on vinyl. The vinyl never makes it onto the road, but any self respecting road trip begins with this song.
Truckin'- The Dead
Sticking with the trucking theme, this song cannot be taken off of this list. On a long trip this will probably be played five times. This presents the question: how long can you be on the road listening to this song on repeat before you lose your mind? about 4 hours.
Johnny Cash- Walk the Line
This song like the next is a placeholder in the playlist to represent a much larger selection of this artist that would actually be played. Cash is the best country musician ever and one of the only I enjoy, so I find myself listening extensively to him any time I am on any long trip.
Pink Floyd- In The Flesh (The Wall)
Pink Floyd is the best music ever, and the wall the greatest album. However, it can only be truly enjoyed when listened to in full, and a long trip is perfect for this.
Rush- Freewill
Road trips are the perfect time for nostalgic music, and this is a placeholder for this. My parents' favorite music was rush, so this is personally nostalgic, but I love listening to anything old and classic, because it never gets old, and a long trip is the perfect time to break it out.
