August Playlist: Back Road Anthems for Road Trips
There’s something about late summer that calls for open windows, winding roads, and a playlist that matches the rhythm of the drive. Whether you’re tracing the edges of the lake, cruising through farmland, or chasing a golden hour somewhere out west, this month’s playlist is all about the freedom of the back road.
Back Road Anthems blends timeless rock, smooth groove, and a touch of soul — the kind of songs that feel as familiar as the hum of tires on asphalt. You’ll find the Eagles, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Khruangbin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, and more — artists who capture that effortless mix of nostalgia and cool.
It’s the soundtrack for detours and long stretches, for coffee stops and quiet turns, for moments that remind you how good it feels to just go.
