Comments on the mix: This is a "concept" mix like Off Season, but for a different time and place. I guess I was trying to come up with something summery, but not just poppy and fun. "Campfire" seemed a good title, and I started thinking of music for a summer evening gathering in the wilds of the country. Some of the songs might be a bit difficult to sing round a campfire, but I think the general mood is right. Quite like this mix, just wish the cover was a bit less generic.
