Sierra Nevada on Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond

Howard. This moment is brought to you by Sierra Nevada's Hazy Little Thing, your go-to beer for good times. There's a distinct sound to a great backyard barbecue. Before you even see it, you hear the grill sizzling, the pool splashing, and that one unmistakable laugh. Add a playlist packed with your favorite songs and you've got everything you need. Just good food, good company, and a hazy little thing in hand while the afternoon rolls on. That's what we're building today. Welcome to part one of the Sierra Nevada Sounds of Summer series. This playlist is made for the backyard hang where nobody's in a rush to leave. Check it. I'll walk you through a few of the tracks I'll be queuing up at my next barbecue. First of all, what's a backyard hang without a 90s banger? I'm going to kick things off with Jermaine Dupree's Money in a Thing featuring Jay-Z. This 98 classic keeps the energy high. And of course, after bringing energy up, you want to cool things down. It's hot anyways so let's play some Running for Your Love by the Brothers Johnson from Right On Time. George Johnson, Lewis Thunderthumbs Johnson, the Tower of Power brass section, Harvey Mason Senior on drums, Quincy Jones on production. This thing is incredible. And then just because I love to air guitar while I'm cooking, I'm going to play How Soon Is Now by the Smiths.
