| music to our ears |
Summer is officially here and that means many things, warm weather, road trips, BBQ's, swimming and the need for good music. Each June I highlight records that have made their way into my listening rotation. This is the first of two installments, the latter comes in November.
Music is a vital piece of culture that can define who we are or which mood we are in. I'm consistently listening to music, new and old. Below are albums that have grabbed my attention. Have fun this summer. Stay safe and keep cool. SO FAR SO GOOD...
