Around here we’ve still got over a month of summer left, so it isn’t too late for a summer playlist. Some choices are pretty obvious, but I left off a bunch of other seemingly obvious choices. Surfing songs don’t really do it for me, so none of those. I’m also amused by the fact that so many songs about California end up on Best Summer Songs lists. I guess to the rest of y’all who don’t get to live in paradise, California = perpetual summer (actually, it kinda does). Some of the less obvious choices, you’ll just have to trust me (or better yet, click on the link and give a listen). All are great songs.
Enjoy:
- Summer Days, Bob Dylan
- Girls In Their Summer Clothes, Bruce Springsteen
- Summertime, Janis Joplin
- Summerfling, k.d. lang
- Tennessee Sucks, Ryan Adams
- Summertime Blues, The Who
- Melt Show, Old 97′s
- Home, Marc Broussard
- Something Good This Way Comes, Jakob Dylan
- The Boys of Summer, Don Henley
- Black Water, The Doobie Brothers
- Saturday In the Park, Chicago
