Wikipedia says: “According to the Guinness Book of Records, “Yesterday” has the most cover versions of any song ever written. The song remains popular today with more than 3,000 recorded cover versions, the first hitting the United Kingdom top 10 three months after the release of Help!. Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) asserts that it was performed over seven million times in the 20th century alone.”

When you’re driving across America, it’s difficult not to feel nostalgic for all of the famous cross-country road trips you’ve ever heard about before. Volume one of the playlist is inspired by the past: the dust bowl era, the wanderlust of the 1960s, the things you can imagine goofy parents singing in a car, etc. Here’s what we wanted to hear on day one:

- Moonshiner by Bob Dylan
- America by Simon and Garfunkel
- Riding in My Car by Woody Guthrie
- Big Rock Candy Mountain
- The Fishin’ Blues
- The Cuckoo
- I’ve been Everywhere by Johnny Cash
