 Starting to be driving weather again out west..sorry NE guys.
Lifting some stuff off the hard drive to plug into the Levinson stereo in the car and sing to my favs with the windows up so no one can hear me as I roll down the highway. Some cuts just make my gas foot 'leadish' and makes me fodder for the highway patrol. Right now it is "Cry Me a River" by Joe Cocker (RIP) off his Mad Dogs and Englishmen album. What's yours?

 I think "rocking down the highway" is great for openers.

 "Ventura Highway" is another stone-classic.

 Awe-d-o-file, I agree 100%. There is no way for me to keep the foot off of the pedal when that song is playing. Additionally, when/if that song comes on while I'm driving the volume usually gets cranked up to absurd levels.

Any one looking for a "gotta drive fast" song only needs to play that track.

 ...road rocker. "Night Train" by Steve Winwood isn't bad, either.

 I try to kick off road trips with a tune from a local Phoenix Artist from 1980: "Early in the Morning" by Hans Olson with the Midnite Blues Band. The first line: "it's early in the mornin' and the road is gettin' light"........
