Comment:

As wonderful as summer days are, it’s the nights that really bring the magic out: moonlit evenings, stolen kisses, waves rolling into shore, the jasmine-scented breeze wafting along at the edge of perception . . . Even the more prosaic evenings spent in the city have a certain charm, as you feel the heat radiating off buildings and hear the sounds of traffic and the clatter of patio parties. Summer nights have a special mystique, a signifying sound, and we’ve captured it here for your listening pleasure — so crack a cold one and embrace the evening with Weezer (“Island in the Sun”), Justin Timberlake (“Summer Love”), Ray Charles (“Night Time Is the Right Time”), Van Halen (“Summer Nights”), and a host of like-minded artists who relish those unforgettable nights that follow the longest days.
