Albums
Big World (Joe Jackson) The best album about travel ever -- "Big World" by Joe Jackson. The entire CD is about travel. It was recorded live, but the audience was told to be very, very quiet so that it sounds like a studio album. Best travel tracks on the CD include: - (It's a) Big World - Wild West - My Hometown - Shanghai Sky (a slower tune with awesome lyrics)---Dave in Seattle
