Listening to Nelson Riddle's Route 66, it really succeeds in putting pictures in my head. The winding mother road and a fast moving car somewhere between Illinois and California then along pops up a small town that dots the landscape, briefly, as the car drives non-stop into the sky. His album Cross Country Suite is a cool collaboration between Riddle and Buddy DeFranco who met while playing for Tommy Dorsey. It's not for everyone but I dig the Nelson Riddlenss of it. Longhorn is an interesting tune.
