I had a little movie in my head of piloting my hot rod space cruiser through the galaxy and coming upon a space-dusty interstellar lonely ol' roadhouse. These are the roadtrip songs playing in the cruiser and on the jukebox in the joint. Some of them are kinda roots, kinda twangy. Kinda out-sadding the 'sadcore" music. Country noir.

High plains drifters are known to look up at the stars at night. Maybe someone is staring back.
