Comment:

Man, do we love the 4th of July. There are no presents to buy, no turkeys to stuff — just a grill to light, some burgers to flip, and some nice, fresh colds one to enjoy with friends and family under the summer sun. It doesn't get much better — especially when all you have to do is hit [i]play[/i] and let our three full playlists of [i]4th of July[/i] Essentials provide the long-lasting soundtrack to your all-American festivities. We've got everything from funkified anthems (James Brown's "Living in America") to country soul-stirrers ("God Bless America" by LeAnn Rimes) to retro rockers (Chuck Berry's "Back in the U.S.A."). With all that great American music taking you from potato-salad prep to the fireworks finale, who wouldn't be proud?
