You know, there are some things that naturally go well
together. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Burgers and fries. Cars and
music. Here are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of recorded road songs
as well as the artists who have recorded them.
Come celebrate the song of the open road. If Walt Whitman
were alive, I can picture him cruising down some two-lane back road
in a '69 Dodge Dart listening to Little Feat's "Willin'" on
the CD player.
Complete list of Road Songs.
Here's a list of songs that celebrate wanderlust, being somewhere,
being nowhere, cheap motels, diners, cars, buses and motorcycles.
Route 40 Songs. Here is a page
listing songs about Route 40 (yes, there are a few) as well as songs
that take place along Route 40. This page also includes a track listing
of my ideal Route 40 Road Trip CDs.
Route 66 Songs. No, you're
not imagining things. Here is a page containing all of the known recordings
of Bobby Troup's "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66" as well
as Nelson Riddle's "Theme from Route 66."
Important note: Please do not ask me to send
you recordings of any of the songs you see listed here. No exceptions!
While I am not in the practice of trading tapes, I have made almost
all of these songs available for download via the Gnutella
network. My Gnutella connection is almost always running.
