Amazon Originals offers the soundtrack to your next road trip with “Open Road,” an all-new playlist featuring 30 artists covering some of the best and most loved asphalt-burning anthems of all time. “Open Road” is now available to stream exclusively on Amazon Music—both Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Music.
The 30 cover songs that comprise “Open Road” are as eclectic as the roster of artists who participated in this playlist. Americana fixtures, John Paul White, Robert Ellis, and Son Volt sit comfortably alongside raucous newcomers White Reaper and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, indie hero Hamilton Leithauser, as well as acclaimed singer-songwriters, Shawn Colvin, and Joshua Radin, among many others.
“Open Road” is marked by a number of truly special collaborative performances, including country iconoclasts Paul Cauthen and Cody Jinks joining forces for a take on the Waylon and Willie classic “Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)”; indie folk upstarts Blank Range and The Wild Reeds tackling the Kinks togetherness-touting “Strangers”; and Carl Broemel’s epic, desert highway conjuring reading of Beck’s “The Golden Age,” for which the My Morning Jacket guitarist convened a veritable super group including Nashville chanteuse Caitlin Rose and members of Band of Horses, Sebadoh, and Deer Tick.
