Phil O'Keefe Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 This article got me thinking about them, and since it's the season for road trips, I thought it might be an interesting topic for a thread. http://www.msn.com/en-us/music/gallery/songs-to-fuel-your-road-trip/ss-AAi87S3?li=BBnb7Kz So... what are some of your favorite on the road / road trip songs?

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted July 14, 2016 CMS Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 I have no idea. I regularly record a few different music radio programs every week that I listen to when I have time, which could very well be when I'm on the road or in the air. So I listen to what the DJ chose to play. Lots of variety and I don't have to take the time to look through a library of 10,000 songs to make up a playlist (or take what random selection gives me).

Members davd_indigo Posted July 14, 2016 Members Share Posted July 14, 2016 I can't give any particular justification. But I'd go more with specific albums. Things that make me feel like wiggling in my car seat. What comes to mind: The Allman Brothers 1st album, Best of Steely Dan, various Beatles. Vocal harmony groups in general. Sometimes I like to harmonize while I drive. Especially on longer drives. Of course I'm also an NPR addict. So there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Every decent organ player with an open mind listened to Jimmy Smith. He was the real deal. He sure knew how to work a B3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dendy Jarrett Posted August 5, 2016 Members Share Posted August 5, 2016 Gospel Ship (I'm Gonna Take A Trip) Originally by the Imperials (and probably others) but my favorite style of the song is this Michael English version.
