Boat Music

[Growler]

So, I'm compiling a couple of fishing CD's to keep on the boat. As I'm sure most of you know, your luck fishing can be directly influenced by the music you play (if you play any at all). I usually keep it pretty laid-back and in the country or blues genres, as the fish don't seem to like Death Cab for Cutie or Dinosaur Jr., plus music too loud or too metal ruins the atmosphere for me.

I thought I'd share my most recent disc, and am curious what you others prefer for good luck, rally cap, day on the lake music.

Going back to high school days, my brother told me "it doesn't matter what you play while fishing, as long as it's The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Marshall Tucker Band or Pure Prairie League." So many of my discs start with these three bands. Here's the latest:

Pure Prairie League-Amie

Marshall Tucker Band-Bob Away My Blues (my most listened to fishing song)

Ozark Mountain Daredevils-Country Girl

George Strait-Milk Cow Blues (my girlfriends favorite...is it the song or singer?)

Darden Smith-Days on End (great but little known songwriter)

Allman Brothers-Melissa

Leon Russell-Wild Horses (good cover of the Stones song)

JJ Cale-Cajun Moon

Chris Rea-Texas

Bob Marley-Is This Love (reggae, doesn't really fit the others, but I like the song)

James Taylor-Nothing Like A hundered Miles

That's it for this one. Let's hear what you all find entertaining music on the lake.
