Road Trip Across America 1973 (Segment 6 - Joplin, MO to Oklahoma City)

Segment 6 — Joplin → Tulsa → Oklahoma City (Route 66) This is where the trip changes temperature. Missouri’s humid Ozark twilight gives way to the dry, dusty, open‑sky feel of eastern Oklahoma. The radio shifts too — more Red Dirt precursors, more country‑rock, more AM pop with a rural tint, and a growing presence of Western swing and Okie soul. This disc should feel like the moment the Midwest finally gives way to the West.
