The chronic heat that comes with living in Central Texas has me lethargic, exhausted and wishing I could sleep the entire summer away. With the heat also comes little bouts of homesickness for the Northeast. I miss the wet grass between my toes, diving into the cool lakes of the Adirondack mountains and the crackling of the summer campfires that last well into the night. I also find myself pining for the hippie jam band music so prevalent on the east coast where Phish and Dave Matthews reign. I have been listening to Dave’s Central Park album on repeat for days.
But I am not going to share a Dave song tonight. I will be doing plenty of that as we get closer to Caravan time. Instead, I decided to share a song in honor of my sluggish and unproductive mood. My brother gave me ALO‘s album, Empty Vessel a few years back and dared me not to love it. It’s a fantastic album that I have continually gone back to over the years. Even though the group is made up of a bunch of guys from California, their sound takes me away from the heat for a while and is the perfect boost of energy. Listen, love, and I dare you not to play it at least several times while breaking out in an impromptu dance wherever you are.
