The Wolfe Brothers' Startin’ Something Summer Playlist

The Wolfe Brothers' Startin’ Something Summer Playlist

Tasmanian country-rock quartet The Wolfe Brothers have made their names with earnest, honest songwriting dressed in fresh modern trappings. Tom and Nick Wolfe look back warmly to the formative music of their youth with the Walkman-inspired “Kids On Cassette”, the title of their 2021 album. That song also features on—and serves as a thematic compass to—the band’s summer-themed playlist. “Summer holidays as a kid seemed to last forever,” The Wolfe Brothers tell Apple Music. “Everything seemed huge and the days just seemed longer, in a great way. ‘Kids On Cassette’ is all about those fantastic times we had growing up.” Create your own enduring memories with these handpicked tunes, and read on to find out why two of the songs are particularly transporting. Neil Diamond, “Tennessee Moon” “I heard this song again recently and it instantly took me back to being a kid, playing cricket in the backyard and our Dad cranking this Neil Diamond-goes-country album. Not really a summer song, but in my mind that’s exactly what it is.” The Midnight, “Sunset” “This band and this song is an absolute vibe. Probably not something you’d expect a couple of Tassie country boys to be into, but we’re huge fans. Put this on at the barbie and be instantly transported to a red convertible flying down the California coast.”
