Going over the river and through the woods to get to your warm and cozy Thanksgiving destination isn’t nearly so fun when the traffic is backed up as far as the eye can see, the kids are hungry and you forgot to stop at the last rest area. I can’t make the traffic move faster, but I can give you some great new MP3s to download now, to help you get road-ready. Because good music–especially the kind the whole family can get into–makes even those bumper-to-bumper moments a little less painful.
