He is touring in support of his tribute to Tom Waits CD (another WOW!!) Don't miss this one..... ~Patty Blee~ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2001 10:15:36 EDT From: FlamingRed74@cs.com Subject: Re: MM: travellin' songs Hey Steph, This awesome band from central PA called the Badlees have lots of good songs about (you guessed it) Central PA. :-) A few that stick out are "Diamonds In The Coal (I LOVE the acoustic version of this on their EP "The Days Parade). Another one that's really good is a slower song of theirs called "Ore Hill" off their River Songs CD. They are really great songwriters overall.. and I highly suggest them to anyone who has never heard them. They have great imagery, storytelling, and they're really one of the few bands out there that I believe are equally amazing at songwriting & musically speaking. Bret, the main songwriter just started a side project called "The Cellarbirds", and that new CD is as good, if not better than (in my opinion) than ALL of The Badlees Cd's. I'm not sure of the url to their website..but if you do a web search I'm sure you could find it! Bruce Springsteen also has lots of songs pertaining to certain areas of the country, and I'd say a good bit of his music is driving material. Patty-wise, I ALWAYS love driving to "Blue Sky"! :-) Hope this helps!

Jackson - Lucinda Williams (actually, "Car Wheels" is rife w/South-specific references) Southland in the Springtime - Indigo Girls (and "Get out the Map" always seems like the perfect road-trip kickoff song) Long Tall Texan - Lyle Lovett (Lyle is also good for southern songs, if he's your bag) Old 97s have lots of great Texas songs, "West Texas Teardrops" being my favorite. Kansas City - any version, not sure of the original artist Cold Missouri Waters - I only know the Cry,Cry,Cry version, but a hauntingly beautiful song Chicago (my kind of town) - Frankie, baby Via Chicago - Wilco You can always use "Leaving Las Vegas," if you're, you know, leaving Las Vegas. California Stars - Wilco w/ Billy Bragg (tipping my hat to my current Wilco obsession) Losin' California - Sloan California - Joni Mitchell California Dreamin' - Mamas and Papas any number of surfy/Beach Boys/Jan and Dean CA songs LA - Elliott Smith (Gee, I guess could do a "CA" mix) If you drive through Philly, a rock band called Marah's your hook-up - song "Christian Street." Springsteen should be a good source here as well, with Philadelphia and Nebraska. Of course, you can't foregt "Miami" by Will Smith. heh. and the Miami Sound Machine. heh-heh. Come on, shaky your body, baby. Do the Conga. I know you can't control yourself, any long-a. Travelling in general: In God's Country - U2 Windfall - Son Volt Out of Range - Ani Difranco (always puts my pedal to the metal) OK, I'll stop now. I guess I ought to make one for myself, with all these ideas. MMer's, keep 'em coming. Midwest songs, need Midwest songs!!! Steph, Good luck with your mix, and your trip. - -Lisa - --- Sarah Stanley wrote: > Travelling II by Dar Williams!!! > > Country Roads and Leaving on a Jet Plane by John > Denver > > :) > > > >From: ShmephSasso@aol.com > >To: mad-mission@smoe.org > >Subject: MM: travellin' songs > >Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2001 21:48:00 EDT > > > >Hi all - > > I'm putting together a mix for a cross-country > road trip, and I was > >looking for suggestions of travelling songs and > songs about states/regions > >of > >the U.S. I would love any suggestions!
