Seasonal mixtapes are a nearly three year tradition around these parts. If you've been a downloader in the past you probably get the gist. I pick a mix of songs I think would (a) make a good movie soundtrack (b) a perfect roadtrip playlist (c) mostly comprised of country, bluegrass, Americana, folk, and old guy punk rock that I find fitting for the season.
I think you'll find this summer's final cut to be a perfect blend for driving with the windows down (Joe Strummer, The Special Goodness), pursuing summer romance (Chicken Chokers, Lucero, Vetiver), or forgetting summer heartbreak (Ryan Adams, Doc Dailey). And I think you're going to like it. Download it HERE.
