Unsure if you're taking I-80, but if so, Gary Usher's oddly beautiful tribute "Sacramento". The Everly Brothers wonderful baroque tune "Illinois" (on their Roots album). //"Sweet Home Chicago" - the Magic Sam version is my favorite. Some 70s hits: "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace & "Indiana Wants Me" by R. Dean Taylor. Can't believe no one mentioned Ian Hunter's "Cleveland Rocks". Chrissie Hynde's "My City Was Gone". "Allentown" - Billy Joel. "53rd & 3rd" by The Ramones & "New York City (You're a Woman)" by Al Kooper. Some road songs: - Promised Land - Chuck Berry. - Night Train - James Brown. - Six Days On The Road - by some Muscle Shoals cats. - Hitch Hike - Marvin Gaye (or the Rolling Stones version). - "On The Road Again" by the late great Al Wilson (Canned Heat). There's a gazillion road songs... - Michael
