The Essential 9 to 5 Hiker #TruckYeah Summer Playlist
Shredding dirt in a pickup truck is unabashedly American (even if it’s a Toyota). When there’s four-wheel drive, open trails, and good friends, all you need are the right tunes.
There’s no one single playlist I drive to in the backcountry, but they all share a similar vibe. This is a greatest hits album of my favorite summer driving jams and should definitely have a place on your playlist the next time you hit the country roads.
Kid Rock — All Summer Long
All Summer Long is the unofficial redneck summer-fun jam and who else besides Kid Rock could usher in such an anthem? Fun anecdote — I was a groomsman in my friend’s Detroit wedding the same weekend Kid Rock played a show in his hometown. A group of fans wearing all denim and leather gave us Budweisers from their cooler as they were checking into the hotel. Rock fans who share beer have a place in my heart.
