The blue skies and warm breeze this morning made me think of Chris Isaak. I came home after dropping the boys (all three of them) off at school and work, and turned on my copy of "Baja Sessions." It was the first time I'd listened to it in about eight years, but the sound of the first song began playing, I felt instant peace.
The entire album is summer. It's relaxing on the sand while staring out at waves as they alternate between screaming and whispering across the shore. It's making out with your love on a chaise lounge, while the sun keeps you warm. It's margaritas and Mai Tais on a porch while the sun drops into water so far and so deep and so dark.
I'll be playing it endlessly.
What songs transport you to those peaceful, dreamy summer moments?
