On the road again

Well we're back from sunny San Diego. The weather was perfect outside of Monday and I had a great time just being outside and playing Ultimate. Now its time for a 180 as I'm heading up to Michigan for some skiing this weekend. You know what that means....road trip. And there's nothing more important to a roadtrip than the music. If your drive is anything more than a couple hours, it's essential to have some good tunes to keep you going.

The key to good music for a car ride is that it should be something you love to sing along to. If you just zone out and sing along to the tunes then the time can just fly by. That's why I love the band Limbeck. These Orange Country rockers have an addicting style of country-influenced indie rock that will get you tapping your toes and singing along in minutes. Their 2003 release Hi, Everything's Great is an extraordinary album that entertains from beginning to end. While not quite as good, 2005's Let Me Come Home has some excellent tracks as well.

Here's a couple tracks, the first two off of Hi, Everything's Great and the last one off Let Me Come Home. Limbeck is a great band to listen to in the car. Their music isn't anything complicated or overdone (they like to joke about how they write all their songs in the same key), but rather simple songs that are easy to love.

Limbeck - Gamblin' Man

Limbeck - In Ohio On Some Steps

Limbeck - Parking Lot
