Music Thread: Road Trip!

One of the joys of driving long distances is the opportunity to dip into one's music stash and listen to the stuff that is old and dusty and stuck in the corner of the collection.

Of course the biggest joy of long distance driving is flexing our muscles as red-blooded Americans. It's what we do, and we are the best in the world at it. It's in our DNA!

I enjoy long drives, and some of that is the leisurely stroll through my music. And not just the on-line stuff. I have a lot of music stored on my phone...stuff from my youth...so it is always fun to listen to something and think either, "wow; those guys are good," or, "what the hell was I thinking?"

I also enjoy long drives for the challenge of beating whatever mapping program I am using. Six hours and 12 minutes? Screw you Google! I'm breaking Six!

And speeding. I love driving fast, and consider it a contest that I must win. Yes, I am playing against the local cops and state police. I'm not sure I understand what I win, but I sure do know what I lose!

***
Anyway, below the fold are a bunch of traveling songs, in no particular order, and in no particular connection to travel.

There's also a song that I saved a few weeks back when Ace was talking about French folk songs (I think). No idea how the topic came up, but I thought of one, so tell me what you think!

***
Sure it's overplayed. Sure it's mass-market. But it's also a pretty good song!

Go Your Own Way Fleetwood Mac

***
Why don't I listen to more Nat King Cole?

(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66 Nat King Cole

***
Ah...back when popular music was great.

Surfin' USA The Beach Boys

***
Sure, he was a lefty, but the guy could sing!

I Left My Heart In San Francisco Tony Bennett

***
Speaking of lefties...

Fast Car Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs

***
Pure Americana

Leaving On A Jet Plane John Denver & Cass Elliot

***
I like these guys. Paul Simon had a much longer and more successful career, but nothing he ever did after they parted ways was as good.

Homeward Bound Simon & Garfunkel

***
What a lovely voice!

Also, Brian May Singing Love of My Life for Taylor Hawkins widow, was pretty good too.

17 Many years ago I moved from OH to PA and screwed up. I let the OH drivers license expire and had to go through the whole deal to get a PA license. Friend let me use his car for the test, one of those Cadillacs with the funny looking trunk. It had a CD player, in the trunk.You could load five CDs in it and off you go. You could control it from the drivers seat, skipping stuff or whatever.

I'm returning, screwing around with the radio instead of Sirius, and talk about timing. DJ says here's one you son't hear often, Robert Mitchum singing "The Ballad of Thunder Road". Looked at the bag of booze, got inspired, damn lucky I didn't get a ticket. "Let me tell the story, I can tell it all, about the whippoorwill that hauled illegal alcohol".

Speaking of car radios, I have been putting those little cheap-ass Dual stereos into all my vehicles. Only 29 bucks at WalMart, but they claim 25 watts per channel, run 4 speakers, and have a decent AM-FM tuner with presets, and no tape transport or CD drive. But they do have Bluetooth, aux inputs, and a front panel USB socket so you can plug in a thumb drive full of mp3's. And the unit is only 2 inches deep. I gave one to a friend to put into the inside windshield header of his '46 GMC truck. Saw it today at the car show. He is real pleased with it.

227 I love the French folk song, and the video is delightful.

However, for travel music, there's no beating classic big-band swing. For music that wants to make you punch the pedal to the metal, try Artie Shaw's "Traffic Jam", from 1939:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjvlosdrfXo

Shaw's two-and-a-quarter octave glissando at the start of the cut is amazing, but it's Buddy Rich's drumming that really makes it come alive. Play it loud!

Well I got my mail late last night

301 One of the oddest things I used to experience:

Was raised in Las Vegas; as an adult working in the Northern CA Bay Area, would occasionally make a few treks back to my hometown each year (and admittedly liked to gamble -- mostly Hold 'Em poker).

INVARIABLY -- no matter where I was on the journey nor what time of day or night -- finding and listening to whatever classic rock stations I could find, I would ALWAYS hear at least once (and often more): "Do It Again" by Steely Dan.

"Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money so you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey, you must put them on the table, yeah

342 Road trip story: A coworker and I were visiting our Florida office, and on the weekend, decided to drive up to Cape Canaveral from the Miami area. It turned out our musical tastes were pretty much 180 degrees apart. The negotiated settlement was we'd each control the radio dial for 30 minutes.

He liked heavy metal and rap. (I've since developed at least a neutrality for metal, but still don't care for rap.) After a particularly obnoxious piece had played during his control period, I sarcastically said it was too bad there was no metal/rap fusion pieces. He said, "Oh, there is!", and went on a scanning frenzy (manual, this was before radios had auto-scan), and finally found one, AND then cranked up the volume to eleventy.

I lasted maybe 30 seconds before turning it off, and declaring the radio would not be played for the rest of the trip.

I think I've mentioned this before, but-

"The Black Light" by Calexico

is a great driving on a moonlit night album.

BONUS! if you're driving through the desert.

Here it is:

394 386 Eromero, I don't dislike McDonald-- he has a very smooth, sexy jazz voice.

Eh. The Doobs were good either with or without him.

Allright then, I'll add On My Own with Patty LaBelle.

That's too bad. Since their formation in 1981 to current, I'm aware of them doing 3 raps--"Bring the Noise" (with Public Enemy), and two versions of "I'm the Man." Then again, I'm a metal head and you may not care for the remaining 99% of their non-rap catalog, either.

While on the topic, the best metal rap of all times is, of course, "The Salaminizer" by GWAR.

396 370 ... "big Suzy Boggus fan"

Yes! She still sounds great and looks good. If the imbecile programmers for country music radio stations played her songs, old and new, I would start listening again.

She toured with Kathy Mattea, another singer I love. Suzy's higher pitch blends so well with Kathy's resonant alto. Mattea's "Time Passes By" album is excellent.

402 Not sure what it says, if anything, about the horde's musical inclinations...but we're at 400 posts (plus CDB's original starter content) and nobody has mentioned U2. At all.

405 Neil Young, Roll Another Number for the Road
It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition
And the morning sun is yet to climb my hood ornament
But before too long I might see those flashing red lights
Look out, mama, 'cause I'm coming home tonight

408 Radar Love

a good drive tune.

In the 80s I had a tape of the Police "Zenyatta Mondatta" stuck in my tape player. I never really cared to get it out.
