The Dog Days of Summer

With the tremendous heat wave that has been over the country for most of the summer, I thought a playlist devoted to the dog days of summer would be appropriate. The only rule I had is that the song title must mention dogs or some derivation of the word. I love the bluesy opening track by Marvin Pontiac, the groovy Afro-beat rhythms of Fela Kuti, the reggae beats of Peter Tosh, and the explosive energy of Iggy Pop. Click here to listen.
