I'm going to hit you with a full playlist that I put together (as a CD) several years back. Can't remember the proper placement for Death Valley Blues offhand, but it works where I have it now.

Truck Stops & Coffee Pots (YouTube)

It was all road-centric songs. But one of my favorite highway driving songs is F.N.T. by Semisonic. That guitar riff sounds like speeding.

This is probably their most successful album commercially, if you're interested in them at all though, I recommend ...Like Clockwork from a few years back (well 10 now, ouch).

It may be (IMO) the greatest rock album of the past 20 years. Tons of texture and nuance and some heartbreaking lyrics and vocal deliveries from Josh Homme who usually comes off as more of a party / tongue in cheek sort of fella.

Not a song about cars or driving, but a perfect song to drive to on a gray autumn day:

The War On Drugs - Under The Pressure (Spotify, Tidal, YouTube, YouTube Music)

The whole Lost In The Dream album is a good driving soundtrack.
