Favorite music (or other media) for the fishing destination drive

[John Stanley]

The i-pod has songs about traveling:
Wreck of old 97 by Box Car Willie
Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Flatt and Scruggs
Six Days on the Road by Dave Dudley
Thunder Road by Jim and Jesse

And for those times I am back in east Tennessee away from other people:
Copperhead Road by Steve Earle

And for the summer months chasing bass:
Five pound bass by Robert Earl Keen

Greg Brown is a wonderful musician I like to listen to, he’s a fly fisherman as well and has some lovely subtle little references.
I like a lot of country music, and love listening to it on a long drive through the rural lands, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Guy Clark, Steve Young. Then there’s Hendrix and Neil Young and Dylan, lots of Rolling Stones, early Springsteen, (The Wild the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle, Greetings from Ashbury Park) Van the Man (Astral Weeks, Its too Late to Stop Now – double live album – blow your friggin mind) The Pogues, Joy Division – then there’s the stuff my son’s pass on to me Flogging Molly, Great Big Sea, Black Keys, Kings of Leon, then for the big open country there’s Beethoven at full noise, now we’re talking!!

Never ever while fishing. I was once on a marlin boat where the deckhands played ACDC at full noise, that was my idea of HELL (I don’t mind ACDC normally) and I’ve never wanted to put myself in that position again.

Greg Brown.  Oh Yes.

—
And I’ll go fishin’–
get with the flow.
I know a river
in Idaho.
I’ll catch a big trout
and let him go,
and I’ll be happy
just by myself.

For longer trips, I often listen exclusively to the Brown(e)s:  Greg and Jackson.  For Jackson, I restrict it to early albums: ‘For Everyman’, ‘Late for the Sky’, ‘Jackson Browne’, and ‘Running on Empty’.

Widespread Panic, Dave Mathews Band, Pearl Jam, Grateful Dead, and Pink Floyd are the staple.

There are some great selections here, but my favorite is, James McMurtry: http://www.jamesmcmurtry.com
Who has been described by, Stephen King as “the truest, fiercest songwriter of his generation.”
I always have a CD by him in my truck when I head to the river…
Brian

[Chad Simcox]

I’m all over the board… It just depends what mood I’m in.

Descendents
Lucero
Rancid
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Operation Ivy (good call Dave, Energy is one of my favorite albums of all time)
Wu-Tang Clan
Dilated Peoples
Gorilla Biscuits
Glossary
NOFX
The Vandals
Thelonious Monk
Sixer
Suicidal Tendencies
Adolescents
Fela Kuti
Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra

Or I’ll listen to the IA podcast, Lightsource podcast, NPR, and if it’s sunday evening I’ll throw on “Rod and Reel Radio” on whatever AM station that comes on. It’s about offshore tackle fishing usually, but it’s somewhat entertaining.

When I put the boat in I usually play Bedouin Soundclash. My phone only has Sara Bareilles (<3) and Bedouin Soundclash on it. Other than that its catching up on podcasts.

[Phil Landry]

Panic all the way:

Ride Me High, Are You Ready For The Country, Drivin>Fishwater>Drivin, Fishing, Chilly Water>Proving Ground>Chilly Water, Surprise Valley>Drums>Disco>Surprise Valley, 1×1>Blackout Blues, Taildragger and on and on. “An honest tune with a lingering lead has gotten me this far”. Plus there is always a “bowl for the cat, a bowl for the dog and a bowl for me”

WSPMFP!!!
