Poll: What’s the Best Country Song for Cruising Backroads?
Evan Paul is the host of Taste of Country Nights, a syndicated radio show heard on more than 100 country radio stations nationwide. Producer Amber co-hosts the show with him every night from 7PM to midnight. Together they play the best new country music and interview today's top stars, like Luke Combs, Dan + Shay, Brantley Gilbert, Justin Moore, Maren Morris + more!
When it comes to songs about cruising down the backroads, country music has a plethora of them. I have a few that are must-plays when I end up on some backroad with nowhere to be. My main back road jam though is "Take a Back Road" by Rodney Atkins. I swear, if that song comes on and I'm on a major highway, I'll take the first exit and get to a backroad as soon as possible.
Amber says her favorite backroad song is "Ridin' Roads" by Dustin Lynch. She says when that song comes on, it puts her in the perfect mood for a long drive to nowhere.
What about you? What is your favorite country song to listen to when you're cruising down some old backroad?
