- 1. "Castanets" by Alejandro Escovedo: "Austin musician Alejandro Escovedo. This is one of my favorites of his. Whenever I play this to someone, they run out and buy all his records."
- 2. "Big Blue Sea" by Bob Schneider: "A great Austin band and album. If you dig this, get the whole record. Bob's drummer is Rafael Gayol, who plays with Chingon."
- 3. "Jockey Full of Bourbon" by The Blue Hawaiians: "I ran across this the other day and it took me back to 1995, when Quentin Tarantino and I used to hang out at the Lava Lounge in L.A. and check out this band while jotting down movie ideas. We even hired them to play the Dusk Till Dawn wrap party. Try to find the live album recorded at the Lava Lounge."
- 4. "Unchained" by Van Halen: "When my kids are singing along to 'Unchained' as we coast down the highway, life just doesn't get better than that. It's a nice nostalgia trip for me, good times for them. And you know you've won when your 7 year-old says, 'Hey, Dad, can you put on 'Crazy Train'"
- 5. "Drive Like Lightning (Crash Like Thunder)" by The Brian Setzer Orchestra: "I do a lot of driving out on Texas highways, and this is one I have on heavy rotation. Guaranteed to get you a speeding ticket. Or worse."
