'Auto Trends' Will Kick Off Our 8th Year With New Theme Music Selected By Grammy Nominated Gerald Albright

 

Eight years ago today, Auto Trends with JeffCars.com hit the airwaves in Atlanta, before expanding into other markets and joining SiriusXM. It's been a ride and a journey. We've had a chance to connect with some of the most influential voices of our time, highlighting their stories. And we feel honored that our guests have trusted us throughout the years to share their stories. As listeners know, we are more than just a car show. 

In preparations for the kickoff of our new season in September, we're changing our theme music. Grammy nominated jazz saxophonist Gerald Albright personally selected our new theme song, Better Day Ahead. When the song debuted in 2021, it was number one on the Billboard jazz chart for four weeks. Albright, one of our favorite saxophonists, created the song at the height of the pandemic, when there was so much uncertainty. Being that our high-energy program centers around empowerment, education and inspiration, Albright's song is so appropriate.

If you’re a racing fan, you’re more than likely familiar with such history makers as Willy T. Ribbs, Wendell Scott, Darrell ‘Bubba’ Wallace Jr., Latrice ‘Tia’ Norfleet and Lewis Hamilton.

Unlike the aforementioned noted names, barrier breaker Melissa Harville-Lebron has not spent countless hours behind the wheel racking up laps. She’s literally taken a different course of action to steer the wheel and break into this male dominated sport, which lacks diversity in terms of both melanin and gender.
