Car songs

Forgot one--one of my all time FAVS:

Bruce Springsteen: "Stand On It"--a TRUE "Rockabilly" song if ever there was one...

AND, it was played in a hilarious film--Ruthless People

Freeway Jam by Mr. Beck
Long May You Run by Mr. Young
Love Shack by The B-52's.

Finally, a topic near and dear to my heart -power cords notwithstanding.  
 

I love playlists.  My “Going Mobile” playlist is a six hour, 96 song, ode to cars and being on the road and features many of the tunes suggested here.  It evolved over several years and contains only ripped tracks from my personal CD collection.  
 

Not too surprisingly it is heavy on songs by Chuck Berry, John Hiatt, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, all of who understand and write about the love of cars and the lure of the open road ( No Money Down, Tennesee Plates, Pink Cadillac, Bootleg Flyer).  I usually try not to duplicate artists in a playlist, but that just wasn’t possible here largely because of these four guys ( eg. Promised Land, Open Road, Open All Night and Higher Ground respectively ).  
Clearly, this is a topic I am personally invested in.  
 

So, I thought I’d share a few faves from “Going Mobile.”  

From the “…oh yeah, why didn’t I think of that one section…”

I’m In Love With My Car - Queen 

Silver Thunderbird - Marc Cohn 

Lincoln Park Pirates - Steve Goodman 

The Road Goes On Forever - Joe Ely 

1000 Miles from Nowhere - Dwight Yokum 

From the slightly more obscure but equally good section: 

She Runs Hot - Little Village 

18 Wheels and a Crowbar - BR5-49 

Studebaker - Jordon Zevon version 

Highway 49 - Omar and the Howlers 

Rocket to Nowhere - Webb Wilder (the last of the full-grown men) 

Enjoy.
