Hey guys, I was thinkin’ I’d make a mix CD (or CDs) for the drive to Telluride this year that showcases only artists that will be playing. I thought I’d open it up on the forums for suggestions of everyone’s favorite tracks.
I’ll be happy to post the final playlist and perhaps I’ll make a bunch of copies to give out at the fest!
:band
Trampled by Turtles is my favorite band and it would be tough to name a favorite track but ‘Stranger’ from the Trouble album would be a great place to start.
A 2011 CD is a GREAT idea! I suggest “Big Country” by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. It’s the ideal tune for driving through the mountains as you approach Telluride.
Here goes . . .
River Take Me - Darrell Scott (The Sam Bush version is acceptable)
Copperhead Road - Steve Earle
Walk Beside Me - Tim O’Brien & Darrell Scott
Hard Livin - Railroad Earth
Same Old River - Sam Bush
It’s a Great Day to Be Alive - Darrell Scott
On The Run - Yonder
Circles Around Me - Sam Bush
Rox in the Box - The Decemberists
Colorado - Railroad Earth
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin (go with Sam Bush’s performance)
Turning Around - Tim O’Brien
Colorado - Darrell Scott
Lover of the Light - Mumford and Sons
Flight of The Cosmic Hippo - Bela Fleck & The Flecktones
Souvenir Bottles - New Grass Revival (If that’s allowed) or Sam Bush (if NGR isn’t allowed)
Also, if you can find it, The Stringdusters do a kick-ass version of Steam Powered Aereo Plane
Will avoid any duplicates (Thanks for hogging all the Darrell Scott, Hot Sugar! :lol )
Trampled by Turtles - Separate
Infamous Stringdusters - Get it While You Can
Robert Plant/Band of Joy - The Only Sound That Matters
Railroad Earth - Seven Story Mountain (and of course, Colorado, once again)
EmmyLou/Townes - If I Needed You
Old Crow Medicine Show - Don’t Drag that Horse
Punch Brothers (Chris Thile) - Heart in a Cage
Sam Bush Band - Ride the Bluegrass Train
Yonder Mountain - Fine Excuses
Mumford and Sons - The Cave
I think I might just plop down every single mp3 I have onto a thumb drive and put that sucker on shuffle for the eight hours it takes me to drive there.
But here are a few…for driving I lean towards fast songs:
