 | Memorial Day is one week away and, for many of us, that means some kind of road trip, barbecue, beach time...or some other form of socializing and relaxing. Before you hit the road, make sure you can fill the car stereo and the party mix with some good summer-kickoff tunes. | |
Sara Watkins - 'Sun Midnight Sun'
Sara Watkins started her career as one-third of bluegrass trio Nickel Creek, but she's come far since that band went their separate ways. Check out my full review of her sophomore solo album and trust me, you'll want to add it to your road trip collection this holiday weekend.
| Patriotic Songs for Memorial Day
Considering Memorial Day is the day we remember soldiers who have died in battle, it's a great time to revisit patriotic classics like "America the Beautiful" and "This Land Is Your Land". Learn more about some of the finest patriotic American folk songs with this brief list.
| Essential Folk Albums
Depending on how far you'll be driving (or flying) this holiday weekend, it might be a great chance to brush up on some classic folk albums. Have you heard all of Woody Guthrie's Asch Recordings? When's the last time you revisited Highway 61? Check out the rest of these classics.
| Jamgrass is Great Beach Music
If you're hitting the beach this weekend, you might want to bring some tunes that don't make you listen too hard, but still feel celebratory and relaxing. Jamgrass seems about right. Learn more about the Jamgrass bands and artists I'd recommend for a nice long day at the beach.
