The Transportation Album

1. Albuquerque
2. Stop Draggin' My Car Around
3. She Drives Like Crazy
4. The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota
5. Airline Amy
6. Traffic Jam
7. Trapped In The Drive-Thru
8. Truck Drivin' Song
9. Another One Rides The Bus
10. Jackson Park Express

I didn't realize when I created this list that 4 epic songs would be included, but considering the "road trip" nature of most of them (even if it's a rather short distance on TitDT and JPE), I guess that shouldn't be too surprising...

I'll post a cover (the back one at least) for "NOW That's What I Call Polka".... I tried to mimic the "NOW" covers, even down to the font. :)

I ditched the bonus tracks though, the quality on them was too horrible (especially the 1991 polka medley, which is buried under buzz and hiss). Besides, I wanted to design it to look official, and Al wouldn't do a bunch of extraneous bonus tracks!

Yes but I would at least include Polkarama (Instrumental) and maybe even the 2 live versions from the live dvds but definitely the instrumental.

NOW That's What I Call Leftovers would work for the subtitle of The Food Album 2!

I can't believe you guys are still thinking up ideas, its awesome. Some of these are quite good like the Im Talkin' To You album. Has a good ring to it. Makes me more surprised now that only the Food and TV ones actually exist.
What a racket they're makin', Jack, they keep me up at night playin' their electric guitars!!
