A whirlwind couple days in the Windy City means we have a new playlist of jams specially made for Lincoln’s home state, including one ripper from Bob Dylan.

Playlist: Michigan
Michigan holds a special place in our hearts. Neither of us are football fans, so there’s none of this manufactured animosity with us. We will be passing through Michigan twice on this trip. In fact, the second time through will be the last state we hit before heading home. I’ve saved a special track forContinue reading “Playlist: Michigan”
Playlist: Canada
O Canada! What a country! The sights make my heart sing. Fortunately, my heart songs aren’t available on Spotify. So instead here’s a few tunes that mention our northern neighbor. It’s a bit of a Last Waltz reunion here…
Playlist: Maine
Maine. What a state! I know my first ME post kvetches about the cost of things in Portland, but everything north of Portland is lovely and somewhat affordable. So, let’s sing along, folks:
Playlist: New Hampshire
Live Free or Die, but just don’t sing about it. I guess the scarcity of some songs about certain states is overshadowed by the numerous songs about Texas, Tennessee, California, and, inexplicably, Kentucky. So here’s a meager offering for President Bartlett’s home state, including a tortured way of getting Dylan on the list.
Playlist: Vermont
Okay, folks, Vermont is picturesque and friendly and tasty (just try the pie!). Unfortunately, that doesn’t translate into songsters waxing poetic about the Green Mountain State. Sure, I could have cribbed songs from all the online playlists; however, this part of my project relies on me curating a list of what fits for us. That’sContinue reading “Playlist: Vermont”
Playlist: Massachusetts
We made it to Massachusetts! To celebrate we have four songs, including one of my favorite long tracks by Dylan. And, yes, three of the songs are about Boston—not by Boston. If you have any non-Boston songs, drop the suggestions in the comments below. As always, you can check out the every-growing playlist here.
Playlist: New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island
A three-fer here because we are whirlwinding our way across this portion of the US. Not because we don’t want to see what New England has to offer, but it is hot, my friends, and we want to head north—and fast. So here’s a spread of songs with the main dish being New York tunesContinue reading “Playlist: New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island”
Playlist: Pennsylvania
From the sylvan lands of William Penn, the home of our beloved Bus Depot, and the home to one of my favorite big cities, Pittsburgh, we have a short list of songs.
Playlist: New Jersey
Other than the Soprano’s soundtrack and Bruce Springsteen, what songs pay homage to New Jersey?
