Lake Shore Drive - Song & Album
As heard on the Soundtrack of
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. II
One of Director James Gunn's favorites!
“Lake Shore Drive” is a song written by Skip Haynes of the Chicago-based rock group Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah, initially recorded on December 31, 1971, and released on their 1973 Lake Shore Drive album on Big Foot Records. The song is a homage to the famed lakefront highway in Chicago. Despite the fact that “LSD” had long been an abbreviation for the Drive, many people thought the song referred to the hallucinogenic drug lysergic acid diethylamide. Numerous fans of the song and residents of Chicago believe the song paints an accurate musical picture of living and driving in downtown Chicago.
