Driving over to Chattanooga this afternoon for the weekend, the weather was perfect – sunny and clear, 75 degrees, and a nice breeze. Before I left my house, I grabbed a stack of CDs for the trip. Every once in a while I hear a track that is so damn good I can’t help but listen to it over and over, usually best experienced with the windows down and the car stereo cranked all the way up. Today, that included Joe Cocker singing Just to Keep from Drowning and One Night of Sin, Michael McDonald’s cover of For Once in My Life from his new album, Jars of Clay’s Work and Dead Man (Carry Me), Jesus He Knows Me and I Can’t Dance from Genesis, and a couple tracks from The Midtown Project, the soon to be released CD from my church, Kingdom Days and My Only Rock (which has a killer B3 organ solo I could listen to all day).
What about you? When you have a chance to crank up your favorite tunes in your car on a beautiful day, what do you turn on first?
Total guilty pleasure for one of those beautiful days with the windows down is Boston’s “More Than a Feelin’.” Love it.
I just listened to it on youtube, Cach. That is a good windows-down song.
