Conceived as music for listening behind the wheel or at home, this triple album echoes the "American Way of Life" back in the days when the automobile was a striking symbol. This anthology featuring rock, jazz, western swing, blues and country music is a landmark audio-collection illustrating the car-myth in American popular music. The 28-page booklet contains detailed notes by Bruno Blum, and these remarkable titles were all chosen for their quality: compositions, lyrics, performance... and, wherever possible, great sound, the kind you need wherever you take the music.
