Man, Jasper and Banff—stunning.

Playlist: Alaska
There’s a lot (like a ton) of driving. Without any cell signal to speak of, have your jams downloaded. Fortunately, we have 38 (now 39) state’s worth of songs already cataloged. And try as I might, I could not find a mention of Alaska or any of its fair towns in Dylan’s songbook.
Playlist: Washington
Even as the blog winds down and I’m posting less frequently, I remain committed to creating our own playlist for this venture (and shoehorning in a Dylan song, even if it means pretending not to know the difference between Washington state and the District of Columbia). So here’s three somewhat-carefully selected tunes to listen onContinue reading “Playlist: Washington”
Playlist: Oregon
We are working our way up the coast of the Beaver State and we need some songs to add to our ever-growing cache of great listens.
Playlist: California
Happy Bob Dylan’s birthday, everyone! Here’s a compilation of all the times Dylan has played the song live: This is Miracle and I’s third time through The Golden State–once to visit our dear author friend, Jean Hegland, and then on our honeymoon in Palm Springs. Here’s a few tunes that remind us of one ofContinue reading “Playlist: California”
Playlist: Nevada
Nevada! Here we are in the Silver State, home to the loneliest highway in America. Although we are only cutting across the southern tip, we have designs to return to the great open north in cooler times. So here’s a few tunes to keep you company as you sweat it out to the next gasContinue reading “Playlist: Nevada”
Playlist: Arizona
Buckle up, folks, because we have some miles to cover and some great songs to settle into that plush 1973 bus seat (yeah, I scrapped mine out of a junkyard in New Jersey so they don’t fit quite right). We have a healthy dose of tunes to get us across The Grand Canyon State.
Playlist: Utah
Utah–one of my favorites. I used to come out here to visit my sister when she lived in Salt Lake and I simply fell in love with the only state to have six straight sides and more BLM than any other state. And yet there are so few great songs about this great state. ButContinue reading “Playlist: Utah”
Playlist: Colorado
One of my favorite and most-visited states–Colorado gives us plenty to sing about. The Mile High State is beautiful and rugged and filled with tons to see. No doubt we will be back again and again. But for now, as we explore the south and west of this gorgeous big box, let’s turn up theContinue reading “Playlist: Colorado”
Playlist: New Mexico
State number 31 for us and one of my all-time favorite places. I went here as a kid and then as a teenager. I’ve been back several times as an adult and I always find something else to fall in love with. The red dirt and blue skies. The hoodoos and rivers and adobe buildings.Continue reading “Playlist: New Mexico”
