Okay then, time for the last
of this year.
Today we're looking at songs about roads. Being on the road, going back on the road, running/walking/staggering down the road, depending on whose song it is, and songs that just have roads or the names of roads in the title. This time out, it wasn't hard at all coming up with ten different songs, the hard part was
cutting it down to ten! Here's what I ended up with.
A great song from the Doors, oft covered, this is “Roadhouse blues”. Yeah, man!
Opening track from “Born to run”, it's Springsteen's minor classic, “Thunder Road”.
Steve Earle is heading “Down the road”...
Dan Fogelberg is going along it...
... while the Talking Heads are on one that goes nowhere.
Chris's one goes to Hell...
... while Marillion's one leads to happiness. Sort of.
One of the many bands to cover “Tobacco Road”, this is Spooky Tooth
Classic from the Beatles
and to finish up with, REO Speedwagon are back on it.
