iPod Essentials #61: "Route 66"--Nat King Cole

For anyone who's ever traveled part of this historic highway (CA and AZ, for me), you will find a soft spot for this jazzy tune, which chronicles a drive along it. Besides, it's Nat King Cole.

Route 66, though barren in spots, has such a fascinating culture. Life is basic along the highway. Stores contain kitch, but also the bare necessities, like bottled water or Advil. People are friendly, despite the heat and dry desert.

Well worth a side trip. You can listen to Nat King Cole tell you about it.
