Wide Open Spaces
Dixie Chicks Wide Open Spaces
"The Dixie Chicks took the country music world by storm in 1998 on their first album with Natalie Maines on lead vocals. No matter what career damage their 2003 political firestorm caused, Wide Open Spaces sounds as fresh as it did when it was released. There's a reason the Chicks are one of country's biggest all-time sellers. By the way, Natalie was right."

Song For The Soundtrack:
Miles From Nowhere
Cat Stevens Tea For The Tillerman
Footsteps In The Dark
Cat Stevens Greatest Hits
"Session listening to Cat Stevens, especially on sunny day runs, is pure mobile meditation and like going back to the 1970s when AM Radio still ruled the musical airwaves. The commercial depth of his catalog and sincerity of his lyrics more than make his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame deserved."

Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)
Warren Zevon
My Ride's Here
"My Ride's Here is the middle episode of Zevon's mortality trilogy with Life'll Kill Ya as the opening act and The Wind as the finale. It's just as typically dark as the other two, even if it's not quite as easily approachable. Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song) includes a cameo from long time friend and fan David Letterman."

I Drove Her Out Of My Mind
Johnny Cash Out Among The Stars
"The Man In Black recorded the songs on this posthumous 2014 collection in the early 1980s when he was trying to recapture commercial gold with producer Billy Sherrill. It's neither a Sun Studios redo nor an early preview of his American Recordings personna, but Out Among The Stars is a pleasant trip back to when his voice was strong and the chosen material dead on."

4.07 Miles
43:04
Out Among The Stars Song For The Soundtrack: I Drove Her Out of My Mind
Capital City Half Marathon Training Total Mileage: 160.85 Miles
