This is the quintessential adolescent summer album. The first time I heard it, I was in the car with my parents, driving on Highway 24 from Lawrence, Kansas to Platte County, Missouri. I'd bought a copy at Love Garden when I was seventeen and my lovely parents were willing to listen to it with me on the drive home. It's remained one of my favorite albums, and I encourage you to listen to it only if you specifically enjoy softly energetic, folk-influenced, contemporary pop music.
While I love to reminisce, I should cut this short, for fear of becoming too sentimental or missing my train into Boston--I'm going to Spectacle Island today to read and spend time with my dear friend Adeline. Until later, dear reader!
- "I Can See Your Tracks" by Laura Veirs, from July Flame (2010)
