The motorcycle song is Vincent Black Lightning 1952 from Rumour and Sigh.
That's actually a pretty good starting point for his solo stuff.  I'd
also recommend Shoot Out the Lights, but that didn't seem to strike your
fancy.  It's got a couple of my faves on it, including the title and
Wall of Death.  Across a Crowded Room is a great one, too.

If you can find it, the 3 disk compilation Watching the Dark gives a
great sampling of all his work across the decades.
