Background

Of course a cultural icon as important as the automobile would inspire artists, and musicians in particular.

The main feature in the Audio Playlist is lists of songs about cars, trucks, trucking, road trips, and other topics within the scope of this Library. Also included in this section are automotive articles that cross over into music topics, lists of songs used in automotive television, film, and marketing, and automotive art used in album covers and music promotion.

Due to copyright restrictions, most of the following songs are not available for listening directly from The Crittenden Automotive Library, but song names & artists can be taken to YouTube for music videos or an online music program such as iTunes or Spotify for listening.

Lyrics might differ on cover songs, but if lyrics aren't easily available lists will show copies of the originals.
