Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic" is a quintessential mellow driving tune.
"Roll Me Away" - Bob Seger
"Hollywood Nights" - Bob Seger
"Hurtin' Albertan" - Corb Lund (this will be very useful in the prairies)
"I Can Get Us Out Of Here Tonight" - Lucero
Whoa. Good myth.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

How do I not have "Born To Be Wild" somewhere? Or "Highway to Hell"? Or "Sweet Home Alabama"? I thought I had more 70s music than this. Really, I'm ashamed of my own self.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If Aussie music is in the mix, I suggest "Chained To The Wheel" by the Black Sorrows, and maybe "Driving Wheels" by Jimmy Barnes. (There's a lot of early Jimmy that would work for a road trip.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sniff 'n' the Tears, "Drivers Seat"
For Springsteen, I'll second "Born to Run." "Pink Cadillac" would also be a good choice, either his version or Natalie Cole's.
I took a short-ish road trip over the weekend, and Spotify gave me a lot of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Mostly instrumentals, so hard to sing along to. But "A Banda" in particular has a great road-trip rhythm.

For location specific songs, victor did a whole cross country Spotify playlist for July 4 that is excellent.

I'm afraid I don't do Spotify, but I'd love to see the list.

Because books.
Bruce's Sherry Darling and Backstreets and Hungry Heart would also work.
Also, John Hiatt's Drive South, Allman Brothers' Southbound (And Ramblin Man), and any of the perkier Dead songs (Eyes of the World, Sugar Magnolia, Brown-Eyed Women).
