🚘 Hot Rod Retrograde — The Playlist That Peels Out of the Past

If chrome could sing and tailpipes could wail, this is the soundtrack they’d blast.

Hot Rod Retrograde is my tribute to the golden age of rebellion — when jukeboxes lit up the night, V8 engines roared down open highways, and the only compass you needed was a rearview mirror full of smoke.

This playlist is a carefully curated mix of raw 1950s and early ’60s rock & roll, surf guitar licks, rhythm & blues burners, and outlaw energy that never got a speeding ticket. Think Link Wray, Wanda Jackson, early Elvis, The Sonics, and deep vinyl cuts that smell like motor oil and freedom.

🛠️ This isn’t nostalgia. It’s resurrection.

The past didn’t go anywhere—it just put on a leather jacket and waited for you to catch up.

Listen if you:

• Crave music that rumbles more than it plays

• Think cars looked better with fins

• Want something tougher than your Spotify algorithm

• Like your rock & roll with a side of asphalt

The cover art? A fiery red hot rod under a setting sun, built to burn rubber through time. Inspired by diner signs, pulp comic covers, and a little retro sci-fi flare.

👉 The playlist is live now. Put your shades on. Roll the windows down. And let Hot Rod Retrograde take the wheel.
