The best unknown driving songs.

My favorite to drive fast, especially in a stick shift -
Driven To Tears - The Police

 

Oh yeah, saw him in concert down here, Willie playing slide on the mando was jaw dropping..

 

"Drive", by Joe Bonamassa.

 

'Cruise Control' by The Dixie Dregs:



And if presented with that rare thing, an 'open road' (very rare here)
and get chance to be a bit naughty with the Loud Pedal, try 'Cruise Missile' by Steve Morse:

 

I am not one of those people whose idea of
driving music" is not limited to songs with lyrics about driving. My favorite drive of all time was the first time I ever drove up the Pacific Coast Highway from LA to Big Sur, listening to a CD of Bernard Hermann soundtrack music from Hitchcock films.



Another one: Driving at night through a snowstorm listening to the Sling Blade soundtrack:


I like driving slowly down a deserted country road, admiring the scenery, while listening to this:


Of songs explicitly about driving and travel, here's one that I like:

 

It varies from car to car. In my old Grand Prix it was Locomotive Breath

in my 48 Chevy it was Maybe I Know

 

This one really helps with the city part of my drive home

 

I guess this is far less known than Ramblin' Man, but as a driving song it's up there with RM and Jessica for me.

 

elbow, 'one day like this'

 

...if I may, I'll contribute a driving song of my own, "Baby, Let's Drive":

 

I take late night drives very often. I prefer live albums or songs. Got a thumb drive loaded with hundreds of songs.The energy of a live show makes the drive way better.

 

I'm not sure, but I don't think many of my mates have heard this one, so maybe it's unknown?

It's a cracker though

 

Can you spot the Danny Gatton solo in this one? This song always pushes my right foot down on the accelerator.
