HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD SONGS VOL. 2-VARIOUS ARTISTS: For those of you whose idea of a greasy good time is straddlin' a hog (this can be construed at least three different ways), ROAD SONGS is worth takin' along for the ride. Despite utilizing such over-anthologized classics as Lynyrd's tired 'n true FREE BIRD and George Thorogood's gear-jammin' BAD TO THE BONE, many underground, nearly forgotten FM classics get their due here. Jimi Hendrix' LOOK OVER YONDER, Bad Company's GONE, GONE, GONE, Montrose's BAD MOTOR SCOOTER, and Blackfoot's seven minute pavement pounder HIGHWAY SONG are mingled tastefully with more obvious "traveling" themes from Steppenwolf, Alice Cooper, and Judas Priest. Pat Benatar's ultra wimpy SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT and a couple of other ringers represent a major lapse in judgement on the part of the compilers; gimme Foghat's rowdy boot kicker DRIVIN' WHEEL or Deep Purple's immortal slab o' hi-fi sci-fi HIGHWAY STAR any ol' time. Check it out, road warriors...but keep that "skip" button handy.

RATING: THREE KEGS

If you could buy a collection with "Bad To The Bone", "Midnight Rider", "Highway Star", "Two Tickets To Paradise", "We're An American Band", "Magic Carpet Ride" and 24 other great songs, would you? I did, and it's great.

Classic rock by a wide variety of artists, from Robin Trower to Bad Co. to Montrose. Purfect for the road!

I bought this with great anticipation. I was quite disappointed when I got it. Billy Idol was never one of my favorites. I don't recommend this one. Save your money for something else.
