Alot of the stuff already mentioned is rad. I like listening to bands like Neurosis, Electric Wizard, & Sleep when I'm traveling because they have these really long, epic, heavy songs that, in my opinion, perfectly suit the pace of road life. And I think that its easier to fully appreciate the meditative aspect of that kinda music when you have lots of time on your hands.

Usually I'll listen to all that folk/punk & classic country stuff when I'm stationary. That's lookin back music to me.

Tramp songs, folk songs, road music

This may have been posted before but I haven't seen it so here goes.

Reccommend good folk songs, tramp songs, and travelling songs. I'm thinking stuff to play on the road, busk with, and for campfire jams.

The obvious ones : Big Rock Candy Mountain, King Of The Road, Wild Rover

Tom Waits - Bottom of The World, Train Song

Woody Guthrie - Hobo's Lullaby

Bob Dylan - Mr Tambourine Man, All Along the Watchtower

Allman Bros - Midnight Rider

Johnny Cash - I've Been Everywhere

All right, throw 'em out there, big, small, loud, quiet, rock hits or downhome originals, what's your tune for the road. Bonus if they are good busking tunes.
