Here’s a mix that I’m playing as the soundtrack to my birthday. A little twangy. A little country. A nice breezy feel like driving down a county road with the windows down and the summer air flooding in. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this big sweet life.

  • The Local Honeys - Freight Train Blues

  • Logan Ledger - (I’m Gonna Get Over This) Some Day

  • Dale Hollow - I'm a Lover, but I'll Still Fight

  • Fort Worth Weekly - "Bad Romantic," Summer Dean

  • TK & The Holy Know-Nothings - Emmanuel

  • Kristina Murray - The Great Unknown

  • Sierra Ferrell - In Dreams

  • Big Thief - Red Moon

  • Kacy & Clayton - Just Like A Summer Cloud

  • The Cactus Blossoms - Hey Baby

  • Margo Cilker - Tehachapi
