Comment:

Because there's just too many great car songs out there to fill just one volume (or even two -- next volume I definitely gotta get some of that "Jesus Built My Hotrod" and "Little Red Corvette" action goin'). Not as many make and model-specific songs this time, but there's a wider variety of styles (and points of view -- see the Buzzcocks). I also slipped in Lalo Schifrin's bit from the "Bullitt" score that accompanied the Greatest Movie Car Chase Ever, just for kicks.

Rocket 88. The "first" rock 'n roll song... seems perfectly fitting. Once again, excellent choices here.
