This first of June pulls out of the recent mud of May with a musically optimistic greeting for the brightest month. New songs by Gigi Perez, Somebody's Child, The Airport 77's and jazzer Kurt Elling get the mid-point of our yer bustin' out all over. And per "Cavalcade" tradition, this first Sunday of the month has the Golden Anniversary LP Crate Dig dialing back to June 1975, when The Isley Brothers, War, The Tubes, Neil Young, Eagles, and Waylon Jennings all found room in the racks.

After sopping wet week, let's go camping! ("Sopping" is a grandma admonishment of my youth as in: "Get in the house, you're sopping wet, all sweated!"). Or at least discover songs in a woodland ramble, where Bon Iver and José González share a toadstool with Laura Mvula, Donovan, and Talk Talk. Not beach weather yet, but the great outdoors is a good "Cavalcade choice" for this holiday weekend.
