Neil Peart decided to drive from LA to Big Bend National Park in Texas. As he sped along, he acted as his own DJ, lining up the CDs chronologically and according to his possible moods.

Not only did the music I listened to accompany my journey, but it also took me on sidetrips, through memory and fractals of associations, threads reaching back through my whole life in ways I had forgotten, or had never suspected. The songs and the stories I had taken for granted suddenly had a resonance that had clearly echoed down the corridors of my entire life.

Traveling Music offers an intimate glimpse into Neil Peart's deeply personal reflections as he embarks on this memorable road trip. Through the music and memories, Peart explores the intricate connections between the soundtracks of our lives and the journeys we undertake, both physically and emotionally.
