Music is food for the soul and spirit! Hard to imagine a good road trip without good tunes. The right song playing while driving through majestic scenery such as the Florida Keys or the Rocky Mountains can make your trip even more enjoyable.
We all have our own music taste but having a variety of music is a good idea. Any song that makes you want to drive, sing or think will make your trip more enjoyable and make time go by faster on long trips.
If your favorite road trip music isn’t listed please email me and I will be glad to add it.
First, Our Theme Song
“End of the Line” by Traveling Wilburys
The Traveling Wilburys was the BEST SUPERGROUP EVER and sadly have never recieved the credit they deserve! Formed in 1988 by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and George Harrison. “End of the Line”, was recorded on their first album titled Vol. 1 in 1988, released 6 weeks before Roy Orbison’s death in December of that year. This video released in January of 1989 after Orbison’s death is a very touching tribute to him with Kim Keltner filling in on the drums. Despite Orbison’s death and the fragility of supergroups the group was together for about four years, released 2 albums and several singles.
Signature Songs: “Handle With Care”, “She’s My Baby” and…….”End of the Line”.
