Great idea for a list. I am from New Hampshire but I have been off living in Sydney Australia and now in London. I miss the fall.

Just looking at that picture takes me back to the N.H. fall with short, bitter days and long, warm nights of carousing by a jukebox with friends.

Here are my seven (this list wears a flannel shirt and should only be listened to on a roadtrip, preferably on a dirt road):

1. The Mountain – Levon Helm (Dirt Farmer)
2. Pullin’ Up the Tracks – Dave Gleason (Midnight California)
3. Wagon Wheel – Old Crow Medicine Show (O.C.M.S.)
4. Can’t You See – The Marshall Tucker Band (Marshall Tucker Band)
5. Long May You Run – Neil (Decade)
6. Hickory Wind – GP (Sacred Hearts & Fallen Angels)
7. Car Wheels on a Gravel Road – Lucinda (Car Wheels on a Gravel Road)

(Cameron Crowe would be upset at me for not having an Elton John song on a roadtrip mix tape: Country Comfort – Elton John (Tumbleweed Connection))

Awwww. The Zombies ‘This Will Be Our Year’ is one of my top 5 favorite songs ever. Thanks for sharing your list and for the kind words.

Love,
Jody
