The pic above is of the hammock in my backyard. My kids got it for me for Father's Day and I love it. I can't figure out why I didn't have one before. On many nights this summer I grab my kindle and a beer and lay contentedly under our big birch tree.
Of course as a true music obsessive I have speakers out on the deck that I control remotely. So whenever I head out to the hammock to read or just space out, I cue up some ambient, classical, space music or jazz and just drift away.
That's where I got the idea for this mix. I needed a new collection to keep me company while I sway in the cool evening air. For some reason when I think of "porch music" or evening music, I think of ambient guitar. So most of this mix is guitar based, some more ambient than others. A lot of it is fairly new and all of it works well with bug spray and beer. Of course I couldn't resist ending the mix with a tune from...Hammock.
