What's the Ultimate Summer Playlist?
There is something about music on the road that just sticks with you
Music and the open road go together like peanut butter and jelly. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the open road requires a good soundtrack. In my earliest days on the road—pre-Camelot and pre-Bluetooth and pre-satellite—my handy collection of 8-track tapes got me through the many miles between radio stations. With the upgrade to cassette tapes, I always kept a pencil in the cab to rewind the occasional unruly cassette.
The real upgrade came with CD players! Clearer sound, no rewinding, and a simple push of a button to skip that one track you never warmed up to.
Excuse the drama, but these days I don't think I could get by without my favorite artist's Sirius XM channel. Who's that, you may ask? Nope, not gonna tell. Just know that with that artist's voice in my ears, the road I'm driving somehow both shortens and becomes part of something bigger. Which artist is your best copilot?
Music has always helped us move—literally and emotionally. It sets the tone, shifts the mindset, and sometimes saves the day when the drive feels long or the to-do list feels endless.
With your help, this summer we're putting together a Camelot Summer Playlist! What's your go-to summer jam? That feel-good anthem that gets you singing at red lights or dancing in the kitchen? Or do you prefer a power ballad? A song that tells a story? A memory-laced classic or a brand-new hit?
Your picks mean the world to us!
Check out next month’s newsletter for the complete playlist. Who knows? You might just discover your new favorite summer song thanks to a fellow Camelot fan.
Here's to good music, good moods, and smooth moves all summer long.
