​Top 30 Hits To Jam When Riding Your Kawasaki Teryx, Mule, Or KRX!

The perfect playlist when riding will oftentimes depend on your mood. And while some riders stick to bro country, oldies, or classic rock, other riders play a variety of songs that swing from one extreme to another. If you’re riding in West Virginia, Country Roads by John Denver is a must-play song. But if you’re cruising around in KY, Summers In Kentucky by Wheeler Walker Jr is sure to put you into a good frame of mind. By all means listen to the scream of the engine and drivetrain if that’s what floats your boat. But if you’re wanting some solid songs to listen to while working in your Kawasaki Mule, backroad cruising in your Kawasaki Teryx, or trail riding in your Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000, we’ve compiled the following top 30 hits just for you!

Top Riding Songs For Banjo Lovers

More strings may not always be better, but you can’t deny the distinct sound that banjos produce. The fast string plucking of a skilled banjo player sets the perfect stage for anything from rambling and shine sipping to riding hard and living fast and loose. You can call it bluegrass, or you can call it contemporary folk, but here are our pics for the top riding songs for banjo lovers!

1. Dust In A Baggy by Billy Strings

Hacking your emotional state with the right playlist is hard to do on a phone speaker or portable boombox. So if you want to get the most out of the aforementioned hits, you’d best consider installing an off-road sound system in your Kawasaki UTV. Now we’re not saying you need a bangin’ audio roof with surround sound, amplified speakers, and a subwoofer to enjoy music. But at the very least, we would suggest a soundbar, a stereo, or something with enough decibels that won’t get drowned out by the sound of your machine. 

We’ve done our part, so get out there and seize the day with an amazing soundtrack to give you inspiration, motivation, or relaxation behind the wheel of your Kawasaki Mule, Teryx, or KRX!
