Alrighty, so the annual Alaurian Road Trip is about to commence- destination: Alabama (to bid fare thee well to the Crowligans before their Trans-Atlantic move), then Mammoth Cave National Park(to get dirt under the ol' manicure).

A kick-ass road trip CD is in order. My road-trip CDs tend to be thematic by nature (for example, our last camping vacation was in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, and my mix CD included a reggae version of "Take Me Home Country Roads," and a metal cover of "Hall of the Mountain King")

I figured after people make suggestions as to what to include in an Alabama/Kentucky-themed CD we could use this thread to suggest songs for other folk's Mix CDs.

So...if I were making a playlist to go down south, what should be on it?

I'd probably throw in some Drive By Truckers, and I'd include "Mississippi Moon" which is one of my favorite deep-fried southern rock staples. "Spirit of New Orleans" is another good one.

Actually, I'd probably bring my "Best of The Band" CD and listen to "Cripple Creek" and "Life is a Carnival" over and over.

So far, I've included

Alabama Playlist:
Southern Man- Neil Young (thanks, robot! I love that song)
Sweet Home Alabama- Bama Boyz (cuz..well...I just couldn't bring myself to do the obvious version)
Space Oddity- David Bowie (Huntsville! Home of Space Camp!)

Kentucky Playlist:
Crossroads- Cream (figured it was appropos, being that we'll be travelling from Alabama to Kentucky)
Gravel Road- Clutch (TLOML's favorite band, and we'll be...on the road)
Underground- Tom Waits (because we'll be doing a 6 hour extreme caving adventure at Mammoth Cave)

More suggestions, pleez!
(Punk, I'm trying to figure out a good position for your suggestion...previewed it on iTunes, it's like an Irish country song!)

Queen - Don't stop me now
Classic!

Yeah. I know. My college roomie had Golden Earring's Greatest Hits. It really confused me because I knew Radar Love and Twilight Zone and then there were a bunch of songs they must have thought were great.

OK missy, you KNEW that would be the first thing that would pop into my head by you posting that. Damn earworm... *grumblegumblegrumble*

As for suggestions, "La Grange" by ZZ Top is an excellent driving song...granted, it's about Texas, but ooh! It's a kinda sorta backwards musical reference!

Oh, and is anyone else pissed that Tool isn't available on iTunes??
