bikeboy52 Alternator IS a great friggin car tune. And Truckers Speed is a great truckin tune. Thanks for turning us on to Fred Eaglesmith. So many cool songs here. It’s Immaterial. Cool song/Cool video Kaleo, Kelsey Lu, Jan Hammer’s Crocket’s Theme - all very fun rides. But how do I not know Stand On It by The Boss??? Don’t know how that one got past me. Thanks to OP for a fun topic that made our Saturday afternoon here a blast, just what the doctor ordered after the weather drove us inside. |
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 ). So, I thought I’d share a few faves from “Going Mobile.” 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.

@axo1989 No apologies necessary here , Tracy Chapman too, cool song, so many great car/road/ truck /bike songs,too many to count I,d wager. |
I hoped cars/trucks/bikes were all sufficiently topic-adjacent. Apologies otherwise. 🙂 |

@akg_ca Technically a trucker song but awesome nonetheless,we may need a truck driving thread ? In that case “ Mama hated diesels “ by the good Commander Cody. |
