#5 What Didn’t Make The Cut: Driving Songs CD

These are the songs that didn’t make the cut on our two road trip mixes. Obvi­ously, these are great songs, but there just wasn’t room for all of them, so we ended up pick­ing the tracks that had sto­ries. In green are the really really great songs—-those almost regret­tably not on the final playlists. Almost.
