When it comes to the perfect road trip, my preference of music is pretty wide open: I'll listen to funk, reggae, post-rock...anything that flat out rules. So far this summer, I've been in a reggae phase, & some of the albums I've got on this list fit into the perfect road trip mixtape perfectly:
(1) anything by Bob Marley and the Wailers (my faves are Catch A Fire, Exodus, and Uprising)
(2) Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey, first & foremost
(3) Peter Tosh - Mystic Man, Legalize It, Equal Rights
(4) Sly and The Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On
(5) pretty much most of The Sea and Cake's output (in particular, Oui, One Bedroom and Everybody)
(6) Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information
(7) Ali Farka Toure - The Source, Talking Timbuktu, Savane
(8) Third World - Journey To Addis, 96 Degrees In The Shade
(9) Stevie Wonder - Talking Book, Innervisions
(10) Stereolab - Dots and Loops, Emperor Tomato Ketchup (I know...funny title for an album but still great stuff though!!)
(11) Gregory Isaacs - Night Nurse
(12) Sly & Robbie - Riddim: The Best of Sly & Robbie in Dub 1978-1985
(13) Miles Davis - anything from his fusion period (B****es' Brew, In A Silent Way, A Tribute To Jack Johnson, Get Up With It, Dark Magus & The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 are more than enough for me at the present time
(14) Antibalas - Security
(15) anything Fela Kuti
.......
For this summer, the releases which I just brought up are going to be booming in my ride, & I'll be dipped if I'm not grooving to their rhythms :-)
