My first thought — and I use the term *thought* lightly — is that it depends on where I am and/or where I’m going. 😂 I know. That sounds like a cop-out. When it comes to building playlists. I can’t just throw a bunch of “road songs” together and call it good. The road matters. Desert highway? One playlist. Pacific Coast? Completely different. Mountains, two-lane highways, little towns, middle-of-nowhere after dark? Different again. And because we’re talking about the *Easy Rider Deluxe Edition*, that makes the choice even harder — because honestly, I’d probably spend a lot more time with Disc 2 than Disc 1. “White Rabbit,” “I Can See for Miles,” “A Whiter Shade of Pale,” “Groovin’,” “The Weight,” “Time Has Come Today,” “Nights in White Satin,” “Get Together,” “Something in the Air”… Those are on DISC 2? C’mon. 😂 A lot of those songs are more closely connected in my head to the whole sound and culture of the ’60s than much of the original soundtrack. So narrowing it down to *one* song that automatically makes every road-trip playlist is harder than it probably should be. But if I absolutely have to choose one? Joe Cocker — “With a Little Help From My Friends.” Coast. Mountains. Desert. Back roads. Wherever I’m headed, that one works. Now, if you ask me which song I’d choose depending on the road I’m actually driving… that’s a completely different question. Ain't nobody got time for all that...
