Please, add your favorite “travel music” to the list. Feel free to argue some of my choices, too.
“Lonesome Traveller” by The Weavers. Yes, there were good songs written before the era of Rock ‘N Roll. 😉
what about pretty much everything by The Travelling Wilburys?
“A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall”, by Bob Dylan.
“The City of New Orleans”, written by Steve Goodman.
And, maybe the best ever, “This Land is Your Land”, by Woodie Guthrie.
