"I Dream A Highway" by Gillian Welch... all 14.5 minutes of it. I don't understand much of it, but it makes me see a particular sort of American landscape in my mind's eye that is bleak yet beautiful.

[SurferJoe46]

"Cowboy Star" from Ambrosia's second album "Somewhere I've Never Traveled" (1976). An Alan Parsons production that sounds amazing in headphones. My band takes an occasional runouts to Arizona, Utah and other points Southwest. When on the road I like to put this on when we leave civilization and start driving thru "scenery". This track will put you right in a western movie. Joe Puerta's bass playing is very tasty. His and David Pack's vocals are in great form here. Required listening.

I just downloaded that - Hmmmmm.

Very interesting.

Who will survive and what will be left of them by murder by death...

I scream this song at max volume while driving in my car. So, so good.
