This mix grew out of a collection of vacation songs. I wanted to put some tunes together for relaxing on the pier or around the fire. Once I started finding songs I decided to make all of them vocal acoustic tunes and the rest just fell into place. The whole mix is nice and slow and quiet. And of course acoustic.
There are a few great covers here, like the Sarah Jarosz & Phosphorescent covers. I was pleased to be able to finally use "Slumber My Darling" by Alison Krauss & Yo Yo Ma. It's on my list of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
I used some all-time favorite artists in here - Avetts, Sufjan, Andrew Bird, Iron & Wine, Paul Simon. Mostly this is a mix of older songs with some new-ish cuts. There's not much else to say other than I really like this mix, and I can see listening to it for years to come.
Enjoy.
