My Lady and I have a long car trip coming up soon, and I'm always looking for music to make her happy. Any suggestions for some chill, sing along type music? She/We really likes the band Slackstring for a referance point

none chillier.
if you want chill, check out RJD2 or DJ Shadow. Very chill and mellow, not exactly sing-along stuff though.
Putumayo World Music makes some nice compilations. My current chill favorites are Acoustic Brazil and Asian Groove.
deathcab? perhaps some slightly stoopid if your fealin' some reggae
amon tobin
boards of canada
bonobo
kreidler and dorfmeister
thievery corporation
this is all electronic/downtempo stuff, but sounds like it should suit.

oh...just read yr 'sing along' criterion...
it's pretty much all non-vocal, so you may not dig it.

The Beta Band- "3 e.p.'s" is the ultimate roadtrip singalong music
Yeah, I havent heard of Slackstring, but I may have to check it out. This summer, in Kuwait, I was introduced to Sigur Ros and Mum. Great chill out music for sure. It's icelandic, so not really sing-along. Oh yeah, I love Jazz when I am chilling out too. Not sure if that's up your alley though.
Dude, i just check these guys out on Amazon.com, and must say, I will definitely have to get ahold of this album. That's right up my alley for sure.
my get in the car and unwind cd's
explosions in the sky "those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever" and "earth is not a cold dead place"
miles davis "dark magus"
thelonious monk/john coltrane "live at carnegie hall"
kyuss "welcome to sky valley"
the feelies "the good earth"
swervedriver "juggernaut rides"
the hellacopters "by the grace of god"....(quite possibly, the perfect rock and roll record)
the jesus and mary chain "stoned and dethroned"

Ben Harper, Ben Folds, Bedoin Soundclash...
Was gonna suggest a few of Narlus' suggestions but you need singalong...definently recommend Thievery Corporation.

I always liked Red Hot Chili Peppers as chill music....
Good call on the Slackstring...If you want to keep with the Roam soundtrack try some John Butler Trio.
Although I don't normally listen to CCR I have deemed them great for road trips and always grab a cd or two of them for long trips.
and obviously Mars Volta. nothin better to sing along to in my opinion.
thievery corporation is so good. i just got the rest of their music and it is all so awesome. should be great for the long plane ride from manchester to las vegas tomorrow. i'll have to check out that other stuff as well.
yea some of the old ben harper albums.. I dig pinback too to chill out with.

hmm...
i'd say anything by the band ("best of" compilation is fantastic) is excellent driving and singin' stuff. also, i just picked up some of the black keys...really good, rough bluesy rock; i love stuff that's raw and under produced. i second sigur ros. i've also recently got into some bluegrass stuff with a slide guitarist named kelly joe phelps...he's amazing (check him out on youtube first) and has one of the best southern bluegrass voices i've ever heard. and yes, john butler is a good call as well. he's a great guitarist when he's not over pop-like.

I like Neko Case for a bit of sing along action, or the New Pornographers (which she was in)
I agree with john butler trio and thievery corporation
galactic-funky and relaxed with tight vocals
maybe some string cheese incident-smelly hippie music but The album One Step Closer isn't too hipped out
keller williams-sweet acoustics and fun vocals
strangefolk-good music
xavier rudd-cool australian stuff, lots of slide guitar and didgeridoos
sound tribe sector nine-mostly no vocals but still definitely some chill songs

The new Nora Jones alblum is really good FWIW, i have been listening to a lot of Old School Freight Train, they are bluegrassish. Some of the more chill 311 stuff is really good, there are a few tracks on transister that are really good (all of their stuff is good IMO). Then there are the staple Jack Johnson, Donovan Frankenrieter (sp?), Ben Harper ect... RJD2 is awesome, someone mentioned it above but its worth another mention, check out the alblum In Rare Form or Deadringer. A good comp to check out is Perfecto Chills, its got a really awesome remix of Nelly Furtado's Try. Hope this helps, have a good trip

Andrew Bird's Mysterious Production of Eggs
Andrew Bird is the man, absolutely and totally. Classically trained violinist, plays guitar, glockenspiel, and whistles like nobody's business. Smart lyrics, incredible composition. Underrated.
