A fairly early example of the Pat Metheny Group’s genre-inclusive style, this aptly titled track combines a buoyant melody colored by jazz, rock and country elements and a lively, jangly rhythm to create a sense of motion and evoke a trip through wide-open spaces. Cheery and irresistible -- if only all travel could be this joyous!
