Road Cruising Soundtracks
What are some of the songs that capture the spirit of herping while you're in the car for long stretches?
Some of the ones that get me in the mood -
Highwayman - Johnny Cash
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Wagon Wheel - Old Crow Medicine Show
Crazy Game of Poker - OAR
Into the Mystic - Van Morrison
Seminole Wind - John Anderson

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I like music while driving from point A to B but when I'm honed in on the pavement looking for herps the soundtrack goes off. I'm terrible at multi-tasking so maybe thats the issue.

We've had these discussions on here before, and my reply still stands:
The entire album "Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big & Buzzy" by The Refreshments.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
For me, Dire Straits, or As I Lay Dying always seem to find their way into my CD player when I'm cruising. Opposite ends of the spectrum, I know, but it works.

My 10 year old likes classic rock. It's all white noise to me.

Gogol Bordello is always good. And the music never goes off!
Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I agree with a few above. I listen to music during EVERYTHING I do in my life, except roadcruising. I have no idea why. I can't lock into that "zone" with music on. Its funny though... Music helps me get into the zone with other things - cleaning the house, working out, etc.

"The Fox," By nickle creek
"The Lord God Bird" by sufjan stevens

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I'm another one of those who like to roadcruise with the radio off, or very very low to provide a little background noise. I'm not very good at roadcruising and having a radio on lowers my focus on the road even more.
However, if I am with my local herping buddies and we are getting really excited for the potential of a new/significant species we oftentimes listen to Rise Against. Listening to Give It All will make finding even a redback exciting.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
Darn good pick, Chris. Banditos is one of the songs that turned me on to modern music. FFB&B and Live's Throwing Copper and two of my standard traveling CDs.chris_mcmartin wrote: The entire album "Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big & Buzzy" by The Refreshments.
Brings me back to my college days at OSU. The bassist for the band lived down the hall from me freshman year in the dorms. I now wish I stayed in better touch with him.TimCO wrote:Crazy Game of Poker - OAR
I guess to answer the question I prefer rock from the late 60's to early 70's and early to mid-90's alternative.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
Glad Bob Dylan's name came up!
Probably my favorite song would have to be Riders on the Storm by The Doors, especially on a dark night.
I too have not heard of some all these groups! Must be my age!

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I always dig these posts. Good call, Tim.
Dell, what's with the lack of Jay Z on your list? I honestly can't remember the last time we went anywhere of distance without Jay Z, Nirvana, and LCD Soundsystem in the rotation, man. I remember Hubbs' music, too. What came after the Enya-meets-Native-flutes music? The Cars first album? Ingrasci and I spent hours listening to the only CD in his rig last Spring... The Ultimate Funk Collection, if memory serves me. I guess if you're stuck with one option, that's probably as good as it's going to get...
Other than that, I'm generally a die-hard Tool nut and the wife generally wants to get the Led out when she's along (major Zep fan...). Anything's game if it suits the mood.

For road cruising in Florida, you can't go wrong with a good Mofro (JJ Grey) album. Orange Blossoms is especially good.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I thought about resurecting this thread myself... and then get Alice Cooper to do a snake-cruisen night, (on his show) for all the boa bros next ARC. So... in line with the 'classic rock' format of Alice's show... I woulda asked for stuff like Crawling Kingsnake by the Doors (or the more eclectic version by Elvin Bishop) some George Thorogood, Radar Love by Golden Earring, Dark side of the Moon... you know... the GOOD stuff.. jim
BTW... after a GOOD night cruisen... nothing beats E Bishops 'Rollin Home' off his Juke Joint Jump album....Try it... You'll like it...

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
Seconding Gogol Bordello!
I can't really help you on this one; my dad's subscribed to Sirius/XM satellite radio. We end up listening to Punk or Classic Rock most of the time. He tries to subtly change the channel to Metal, but I'm not too keen on it myself, XD
I'll have to take note on some of these suggestions- I've got to say, you guys have great taste in music.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I have a very eclectic collection. I do not normally stay up late (in fact, I've "trained" The Kid to answer my question "What's the only reason to stay up late?" with "Looking for snakes"), so when I do my mind is in a slightly different place. Adding unusual music to the up-past-usual-bedtime compounds the effect.
An example of such music would be Ghostland Observatory. 2am listening to this stuff is surreal.
Then again, ChadW has demonstrated to me the virtues of bluegrass in a rental hooptie at 70mph this summer--spotting 8" snakes.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
monklet, you are sooooooo sick! Just kidding, I got your humor... Let's see, probably lots of things from the '60's/early '70's. But one song that always popped into my head whenever swinging a leg over the CBR, or at the beginning of a road cruising session, was Born to Be Wild/Steppenwolf. Wow, I know which characters on here are from my era too.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
Due to severe ADHD, I never listen to music when I cruise. But really, there's only one composition in the history of music that can catch the spirit of road cruising, and keep you awake at the same time:
Ride of the Valkyries.
That, or anything by Johnny Winter

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I'm with you, Hans. There's nothing like a little Johnny Winter, "Highway 61"...much better than Dylan's, although he wrote it.
Seriously though, I rarely listen to music while road cruising. There's usually two or three of us and the conversation is endless. However when I'm along...Dylan, Dire Straits, Alan Jackson, Don Williams...the list could go on and on. It's the mood, man...the mood.

Any votes for that late 80's/early 90's Norwegian death metal we all used to listen to?

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I second the Golden Earring choice. it's got the right sound of excitement and anticipation. also Tom Petty's Runnin' Down a Dream (lyrics not to be applied literally)
Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
The only reason I go road cruising is for the music. I have a friend who likes to go out and ride around all night looking for the stuff we see everyday in our yards. I always end up going along.
Absolutely!!! I love vintage Mayhem. Varg Vikernes, Euronymous, Dead . Immortal. Emperor. If I go with the heavy stuff I want it authentic, not just some guys who tune down to B and shop at Hot Topic.
I also like anything with Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker most of the stuff from the golden age of guitar playing. As for more current stuff I would rather listen to top 40 pop then most of the newer "rock" bands.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I prefer more mellow tunes for road cruising. Robert Earl Keen, Cody Morrow, the Highwaymen, stuff like that.
If I want more energy themed music I'll tune into AFI (through the Black Sails/Art of Drowning albums), some Disturbed, etc. Slayer never did much for me, but sometimes Pantera
and Jimmy Buffet cause playing "Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season" when looking for frogs in the rainn...

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
I love early Old Crow Medicine Show (anything before Tennessee Pusher) when I finally get on dirt roads in appalachia or in to some good pine on the coastal plain.
Any old delta or chicago blues is great (but I honestly think the Doors' version of Crawlin' Kingsnake on LA woman is the best version of what has to be one of the ultimate herp songs).
The entire white album is always a good choice.
Manu Chao in the south west.
Oh... and I have scientific proof that turtles LOVE High on Fire (anyone who said they like slip knot- check them out.. it's time to start listening to good metal). Blast it at 10am and you won't be able to keep them off the road.

To say that Slipknot holds a candle to High on Fire is downright embarassing on your part. Slipknot is on par with Insane Clown Posse LOL. Just joshin' ya.

High on Fire is amazing and a great cruising soundtrack for sure. I'll be seeing them Saturday night in Athens, GA.
Back on topic: Misfits/Samhain is fun. Tom Waits also rules the road when I'm cruising. Hank III is good to me too. Dave Justice has hard data showing that simus love electric blues. Can't argue with facts.

Re: Road Cruising Soundtracks
Last time I cruised with Hefe (J. Teel) he was rocking with some Silver bullet band... gave me hope, that the 'younger generation' knew good music...
Heard some other good suggestion as well... Petty, Beck, ect. Throw in some Pretenders, ELO (Fire on High?) Queen (1st album) Any Neil Young, Early Heart or Fleetwood Mac... and we're good to go...
Told this story on localityrosys (so... you Know it's true... ) the last rosy I cruised this year was late in the season, on a full moon night... so I had picked a road that was mostly in 'moonshadows'... Alice had Just played a song by Cat Stevens, and I was humming 'Moonshadow' to myself when I cruised the rosy in a moonshadow... I TRIPPED! jim
