Music on Mondays - Long Ride Home
Yet another CD mix exchange! It’s my last one for awhile, at least as far as swapping real CDs goes. I’ll probably do mix related posts on here, though so don’t worry about the Music on Mondays feature.
This mix is a traveling theme - music for the long ride home. I love road trip music, as this post will tell you. Here’s my contribution:
- Drive - Bic Runga
- 1000 Miles Away - Jewel
- California - Semisonic
- Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams
- Watching the Wheels - John Lennon
- Cars and Guitars - Tori Amos
- Closer to You - Brandi Carlile
- Crossroads - Cream
- Diamond Road - Sheryl Crow
- Don’t Leave Home - Dido
- Driving With the Brakes On - Del Amitri
- Driving Sideways - Aimee Mann
- The Long Road - Eddie Vedder and Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn
- 200 More Miles - Cowboy Junkies
- Runaway - Pink
- Vegas - Sara Bareilles
- Long Ride Home - Patty Griffin
This mix was thrown together a bit more hastily than my previous mixes since I needed to get it done ASAP, but overall I’m satisfied with it. These are all songs that sound good when you’re on the open road, which is one of my favorite places to be.
Nice list!
hummm… i keep hearing things about Sara Bareilles… i’ll need to check her out… thx!
Glad you both like it. Minijonb, I haven’t heard much Sara Bareilles, but what I have heard I’ve quite liked. I’ve got to check out more of her stuff myself.
