Good Summer driving tunes?

MrJoeSoap

I've a couple of three-hour long drives coming up soon, and with the weather as good as it is these days, I need a soundtrack for my journeys. Something to get peoples heads nodding and feet and fingers tapping.

Criteria:

- Feelgood tunes, preferably

Plus The Specials, to get in the mood for November nice and early!

Calexico-The Black light is my all time favourite driving album. It's a very cinematic kind of record. Here is the first track from the record..
