Hey guys,
I was trying to think of a new mix theme and was having trouble, so I asked a couple of people and a roadtrip theme was suggested. I thought about it for a while and decided it would be difficult to make a roadtrip themed mix. Then I decided I would suck it up and give it a try. And then I ended up with 4 disks and 4 hours of music, which I believe is the perfect roadtrip length– especially for someone who drives from Dallas to Little Rock on a pretty regular basis. Roadtrips are kind of how my mix-making began. Every time I go on a long drive, I’ll make a gigantic mix of my favorite songs with hopes of not feeling the need to skip any of them as they come up on the playlist. This mix is a little bit different, though. All 4 disks are intentional in order of tracks and type of song and genre of music. All of the disks have a little bit of everything. Some tracks are instrumental, some are folky, some are hard rock, some are hip-hop, and so on. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mix(es). You’ll have to scroll down to the bottom of each tracklist to find the download link for the mixes.
