so we’ve arrived late at the base of the Smokey Mountains, trading the at&t-reception-less backwoods for the rainy Rt. 40. when you leave the city limits and drive through valleys of forest under a craggy sky, you can breathe in the air and understand the purity of these places.

seeing as music’s as a big of a part of the american roadtrip as anything, we here in the mazda 6 would like to extend to you five tracks from our playlists. put them in any order, enjoy in a car or in your Nikes. crank the volume past the healthy mark.

and here’s the soundtrack from the road.

matt:

“footsteps in the dark, part 1: & 2” - eisley brothers

“lay it down” - al green

“night drive” - chromatics

“b.b.e. (big booty express)” - jdilla

“i will possess your heart” - death cab for cutie

mustafah:

“whole lotta love” - led zeppelin

“one way out” - the allman brothers band

“big love”  - lindsey buckingham

“about today” - the national

“death and all his friends/the escapist” - coldplay

and now for some pixels.
