I'm getting ready for a 3,000 mile road trip and just rotated the CD's in my F-150. The current selection includes Allison Krauss, Martina McBride, The Greencards, Dave Sugarbeet, Hautewerk, and the Shamus Twins (gee I wonder where those last two came from).

Also have an XM radio and an iPod to keep me company.

I've been spinning Jet's new CD Shine On a lot recently. White Strips and the Racoteurs (sp?) are added into the mix as well.

I usually play stuff directly from my computer, but on a road trip I pack up some Queensrÿche, Rush, KT Tunstall, Coldplay, John Mayer Trio, Mercyful Fate and probably a couple U2 cd's. But that's just me.

I've got The Move, Donovan, Robyn Hitchcock, Badfinger, Bevis Frond, and Martin Newell.

I've been playing alot of "The Slip" lately (awesome fretless bass player and a great jam band), and also going back in time to "Chicago Live at Carnegie Hall" from 1971 (4-CD set...love that Terry Kath!).

Johnny Cash, ramones, chameleons uk, the jam, the verve, some northern soul stuff and a ska best of album.

Lately, the Bravery, the Blue Van, and now the Lovin' Spoonful's Day Dream album. Mostly though I just use my iPod with an FM transmitter since I put all CD's on it within about a week of purchase.

Sky Blue Sky by Wilco, King of America by Elvis Costello, a Neil Young compilation I made myself about two years ago, and a great kids CD called The Bottle Let Me Down...my three-year-old demands it, and it beats Raffi and Barney and the Disney troops anyday.

The 2 CD's I have been "worshipping as a way of life" recently are:

Pure Reason Revolution - "The Dark Third"

Blackfield - "Blackfield II"

Sounds like a taxing journey, Richard. I would take the complete works of the Shadows if I was leaving today.

Rufus Wainwright

Trojan Jamaican Hits Box Set.

I have Sirius Radio usually on the "vault".

Currently in my car I've got a Beatles compilation (who woulda thought?), a CD of assorted Rick 12 string songs, a Lynyrd Skynyrd compilation, an AC/DC compilation, /b{Steppenwolf 7}, Brother by Cry Of Love, a Pink Floyd compilation, an Aerosmith compilation, Straight Up by Badfinger, and a CCR compilation.

Yeah Scott, The Vault on Sirius!! The BEST channel!!

Also in my player:
UFO - Force It
Thin Lizzy - Fighting
Pretenders - Learning To Crawl
Ronnie Lane - Just For A Moment
And my band's latest demo (featuring a tasty new track recorded with my Monty Brown 4003)
