Here you can find some cool music to listen to while flytying or cruising down the road looking for a next river bend to fish
Born to Fly
Just came across this awesome tune. Should really be an anthem for flyfshing. What a groove! Glens Hughes voice just doesn’t seem to get old. Enjoy!
Eric Gales – Steep Climb
In the last couple of trips I had this tune constantly playing in my head when hiking in the Snowy Mountains or taking a steep route back to my car after day’s fishing for bass. I was never familiar with Eric Gales before it came up as a suggestion on Spotify. Song started with a really nice groove that drew my attention and some lyrics kicked in that had instant Jimmy Hendrix vibe to it. The song also guests one of my all time favourite guitar players Zakk Wylde. The solo that Zakk does on here after Eric goes ‘And also life continues to be a little wild A little Zakk Wylde…’ is such a good fit and marks the culmination of the song. Give it a listen, and maybe remember it next time you’re climbing a mountain or facing a hard time in your life, this song might help you to get through it a bit easier.
Mark Knopfler – Tracker album
Mark Knopfler – the former lead guitar player and singer of the Dire Straits. Probably he needs no introduction to the most people who are into 80-90s rock. His solo albums have been on top my to play list when flytying or driving down to my next fishing destination. His 2015 year album called Tracker is one of my favorites so far.. The whole setlist just brings such a cool vibe from the Scottish Country inspired tune “Laughs and Jokes and Drinks And Smokes” , to the more uptempo solo guitar driven song “Beryl”. And the highlight for me – such a sweet mellow song called “River Towns” about a tugboat mate who gets to spend every day at the different river town. How good is that? Have a listen, even if you’re feeling doubtful about it.
