Road Trip - Part 1
Are you taking a trip soon, a long drive to visit the relatives for the holidays? Looking for some good tunes for the road? Let Gramma help.
This batch of road trip tunes has a little bit of country flavor that makes you think of wide vistas and open roads. Country songs are good for driving, as long-distance truckers will attest.
Pernice Brothers: My So-Called Celibate Life from Discover A Lovelier You (2005)
Grand Drive: The Real Thing UK single (2004)
Sun Kil Moon: Carry Me Ohio from Ghosts of the Great Highway (2003)
Son Volt: Tear Stained Eye from Trace (1995)
Bottle Rockets: 1000 Dollar Car from The Brooklyn Side (1994)
Warren Zevon: Play It All Night Long Live at the Customs House, 5/29/2000
Everybody sing!

Hi --
Since you seem to like Warren Zevon, I thought I'd let you know a couple of things. First, there's a petition to get Warren into the Rocka dn ROll Hall of Fame; you can link to it at www.warrenzevon.com. Also, Crystal Zevon, Warren's ex-wife, has written a bio of him (at his request, when he was diagnosed)) that will be out May 1. Cheers!
--good selection, I especially like the Bottle Rockets song...
Thank you, Catstone! I will look into that. I think Zevon deserves that honor.
