"Left My Wallet in El Segundo," by A Tribe Called Quest is still my favourite road song.

Faster, Faster; Bree Sharp

Well this is ironic.

I'd add Oh Happy Day (I never remember who this is by but I have it on my Itunes at home, and Jesus gave me water by Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers.

I see you have a version of I'll Fly Away already but I'm awful partial to the Johnny Cash version.

Oh and Rivers Of Babylon (I'm partial to the Sublime version but a more traditional version is good too.)

And you need a good version of Hush (somebody's calling my name). if you find one, let me know because all I can find on itunes is Blind Boys of Alabame and I dn't like that version much. I really liked the version on the Crossroads soundtrack but can't find that version anywhere. Afroman's version isn't terrible but it's not as rich as a good gospel version.
