Here’s a different YouTube video with a Route 66 theme. These are sepia-toned images of decaying vehicles and spots along the Mother Road, set to Lyle Lovett’s “The Truck Song.”

Canadian singer-songwriter Melissa McClelland has posted Part 4 of her video diary from last summer’s trip down Route 66.
In it, she wears a pretty white dress and belts out a bluesy tune, “Go Down Matthew,” at the grounds of the Blue Whale of Catoosa, Okla. The song comes from her “Thumbelina’s One Night Stand” album.
She says she appreciated the voodoo of the location — the sultry summer heat, chirping birds and insects and the nearby pond added to the song’s vibe.
