All four songs are outstanding.

Keep 'em coming guys! This list looks great!

I'll post a tentative playlist once I'm able to get all the songs   

[johnny]

Pert' Near Sandstone is in the band competition this year.  Check out their traditional song "Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss" and "Okanagan Valley".  Both really sweet songs. 

Cornmeal's "River Gap"  is a really good road-tripping song.

[Mr. Geppetto]

Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song

I almost threw that one in. It used to be my favorite song of theirs, until the new album came out.

Slight derail... Hey Hot Sugar (*giggles like a schoolgirl*): I checked out the king is dead just now after seeing your post... wow! Not often a #1 billboard, hipster favorite is so stellar! I listened to them for awhile back when they were playing free shows down at Waterfront Park. Ten years ago or so i guess - back then more in the indie rock vein. I followed them up until Crane Wife. I dig the European folk, celtic, dragon slaying thing they've reinvented. I'm always a fan of an epic story  Anyway guess I hadn't heard the last couple mostly because my wife isn't into them, and maybe I was rebelling against the Portland Hipsters a bit.

I am going to strap her to a chair and force her to listen to this album!!! What an effortless move back to roots and western folk music! Great album; and what a year to have them at TBF! This lineup could not get much better...Anyhoo, I'm probably ironically the last to hear this album so back to the thread.

Working up my playlist now; not an easy task!

PS: that dusters version of steam powered aeroplane is on a st patties day tape at the bluebird on archive.org. Not the best recording ever, but I think the crowd noise adds to it. "Can't tell if its sunshine or if its raiiiiin!" total singalong hoedown!! That show ends with them doing a greensky song, greensky does one of there's, and then they both do cee lo "F you"

Thanks! I was wondering when I would get a chance to go look for that.

Great thread and excellent motivation to put some music together for the journey.  I just road tested this set of songs with good results.  At 1.2 hours, it'll get you from the outskirts of Montrose on into Telluride.   

1) I've Endured_Tim O'Brien_Traveler (the festival starts with Tim, so should your road trip)
2) Bounce_Jerry Douglas_Glide  (a day in the life at the festival, put to music)
3) Won't Be Coming Back_Infamous Stringdusters_self titled (song about love and a girl who was hold'n)
4) Golden Ticket_Infamous Stringdusters_self titled (probably written about a ticket to heaven, which, interestingly enough, would likely be traded straight up for 1 Town Park/Warner Field ticket this year)
5) High Up In The Mountains_Spring Creek Bluegrass_Rural & Cosmic Bluegrass (Colorado high country put to music)
6) Highway Song_Leftover Salmon_Euphoria (song for either end of a road trip)
7) Moonlight Midnight_Peter Rowan and Tony Rice_Quartet (you'll want to go back to a time before cell phones and when a call cost a dime, and then call Peter and Tony to give them the idea to collaborate sometime down the road)
8) Pushed Too Far_Jerry Douglas_Glide (pure San Juan gold, or uranium or whatever they got out of those mines up there)
9) June Hymn_Decemberists_The King is Dead (I'd like to think Colin had T'ride in mind when writing this ode to nature in June)
10) Bt_Joshua Bell & Edgar Meyer with Sam Bush and Mike Marshall_Short Trip Home (more of a celestial revelation than a human composition)
11) Mr. Freddy_Sam Bush_recording from1991 TBF (Fred Shelton must of been an incredible guy, what a tribute)
12) Little Rabbit_Yonder Mountain String Band_Mountain Tracks 3, Disc 2 (go here to get in the Yonder starting line)
13) Blue Mountain_Sam Bush_Circles Around Me_(Saturday, June 18 will be here soon)
14) Next_Bela Fleck and the Flecktones_Little Worlds, Disc 3 (think of cosmonauts, floating inverted and suspended in blue caribbean water, trying to communicate to trigger fish)

Okay, well ... as I've noted before, I go a bit crazy with T-ride mixes. I like to familiarize myself with the artists I'm going to see and I like to make mixes, so I made one for each day. (I love the idea of a mix that will get you from Montrose to T-ride, though; I may have to copy that idea from the southern route, from Cortez).

Anyway, each "disc" (because, like any good mix tape, I feel limitation and purpose is essential, particularly in a world where limitless consumption helps us forget restraint! ;-)) features two songs from each artist from each day, in the order they are scheduled to appear on stage.

For artists I really like (Steve Earle, Decemberists, etc) I chose songs only from newer releases that I wanted to force myself and my traveling crew (I'm meeting my parents, their friends, and my godfather + his wife in T-ride) to be more familiar with.  I also try to grasp the diversity of some of the artists who tend to be all over the place!

Here's what I chose:

Disc 2:

Joe Pug – Hymn #35
Chris Thile & Michael Daves – Tennessee Blues

Love this! Sounds like me! Virgo? OCD? Both?
