If you don't listen to tunes on the trail, no biggie- not the thread for you. If you do...Does anyone else have a Long Songs style playlist? We all have that tough hour or tough day on the trail. I keep a playlist or two of long songs (8 minutes or more) that's about an hour long. That way when I'm hiking along expecting to find the nights pull-off in a few minutes and realize I'm still an hour away; instead of driving my tent stake through my temple I play my long songs playlist. "No biggie, it's only six songs away..."
A few of my favorites...
"Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys, Traffic- 11:39"
“I'm your Captain/Closer to Home- Grand Funk Railroad-9:59"
"Flamenco Sketches- Miles Davis- 9:26"
“I want you- Erykah Badu-10:53”
“The Slant/The Diner- Ani Difranco-8:22”
“Chicken Man- Indigo Girls- 7:45”
“Down by the Seaside- Robert Plant and Tori Amos version- 7:51”
“I gotta find peace of mind- Lauryn Hill- 9:19”
And of course, “The rain song” Led Zep- 7:39”- handy on many occasions.
Live versions are always fun too when listening to Jam bands.- How ‘bout you?
