Album Theme: Taking The Road Less Travelled. Listen to Heat Haze, Open Road, Tumbleweed Hallucinations and Pacific Coast. A renegade is someone who rejects lawful or conventional behavior. Jack Kerouac hit the road in a series of aimless roadtrips from 1947 to 1950, documenting his infamous memoirs in "On The Road". Did he know then that he would not only change the culture of travelling, but influence an entire "Beat" generation of musicians, poets and writers? RENEGADE ROADTRIP is dedicated to all of you roadtrippers out there who see life as a journey and the path as your goal.
