Hi Ben,

Sorry - brain just starting to kick into gear ...

What? No blues???? Ya gotta have "Good Time Girl" by Johnny Winter and maybe "Fishnet" by Duke Robillard - which is great for singing along at a traffic light!  [You're looking good, Baybee.  In your skintight fishnet bodysuit!]

Blue Oyster Cult - "The Subhuman", and maybe "Last Days of May".

How about "24 Hours" by the Marshall Tucker Band?  Should go well with "Jessica".

Maybe some old stuff - "Free Ride" by Foghat and "Highway Star" by Deep Purple to go with Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein".

Heck, if you're gonna get that old, try "Roll away the Stone" or "Violence" by Mott the Hoople.

Slow it down with some "Green Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf, "Spooky" by Atlanta Rhythm Section, and some Van Morrison. Like Spyrogyra's "Catching the Sun"?

Maybe some big band?  Try the first Brian Setzer Orchestra disk.

Not gonna go for Jimi's "All Along the Watchtower"?

Some odd stuff that seems good to drive to:
"Lola" - Kinks
"Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" - Hollies(?)
"Ride the Tiger" - Jefferson Starship, or maybe "Built this City"?

Maybe dice it up with "Miser Lou" by Dick Dale or "Hawaii Five-O" by the Ventures, or "Five O'Clock World".


Blend, serve chilled over ice.  Have a great trip!


RonL.
