Grizzly Bear Week: The Ultimate Roadtrip Mix
sean by Sean Adams May 27th, 2009

The ultimate roadtrip mix is one of the hardest mixes to perfect. Whilst many reach for the youthful rapid clatter of skate punk/metal or the hairmungus power ballads of Jon Bon Jovi, the more discerning road warrior will always have a glorious collection of lushness and forgotten classics meticulously put together.

As part of Grizzly Bear week Chris Bear has crafted this joyous selection for your listening and driving pleasure. It features 'Wichita Lineman', which is potentially the greatest song of all-time (In Yr Editor's Humble Opinion, etc).

Of the mix, Chris Bear simply says:

This is a mix I made a while ago for a trip to LA...
Good mellow stone grooves to drive around with....

  1. Fly - JK & Co.
  2. Welcome To The Rain - Mid Day Rain
  3. One Way Glass - Manfred Mann
  4. A Family Affair - Television Personalities
  5. I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape - Teenage Filmstars
  6. How To Be So Real - Jim Noir
  7. What the Driven Drink - Thee Oh Sees
  8. You Showed Me - The Turtles
  9. The North Wind Blew South - Philamore Lincoln
  10. I Am Not Willing - Moby Grape
  11. Wichita Lineman - Glenn Campbell
  12. Poison - Som Imaginario
  13. Sleepy Hollow People - Paper Fortress
  14. Cherry - JJ Cale
  15. It's the Way - Pete Dello
  16. Shouting In A Bucket Blues - Kevin Ayers
  17. All Night Radio - All Night Radio

Running time: 57m 29s
