This week's playlist was inspired by a recent road trip across the western US states. After searching the net for songs about Nevada or its cities, I discovered there's very little out there, much like the place itself. But the tracks I did find are a true audio bonanza.
Smashing the Speed of Sound on an Empty Lake in Utah (The John Steel Singers)
Interstate Highway 80 goes right past the Bonneville Salt Flats, where they do all the land speed testing. We got to drive fast, but nowhere near as fast as the speed of sound.

Alien Battle (UTAH)
Another track with lots of space, but a more ominous, X-Files / Area 51 mood. The mind tends to wander out in the desert.

Utah Man (University of Utah)
This track would sync up perfectly with footage of the drive over this winding mountain pass. Unfortunately, I don't have any footage like that as I was too busy staying on the road.

Utah Carol (Marty Robbins)
I really wanted "The Red Hills of Utah" but found this one instead, which is just as good.
