Ah, Memorial Day. The unofficial start of summer, a day off from work, and a chance to celebrate the U.S.A. and those who sacrificed to make it what it is today.

Whether you're planning a massive backyard barbecue or a more modest celebration, music is one of the best ways to enjoy the holiday and take in its meaning.

That's why we assembled this Music Monday playlist full of tunes that celebrate the good old U.S. of A.

So throw on our playlist, throw some burgers on the grill, and enjoy spending quality time with friends and loved ones.

Have something to add to our playlist? Share with us in the comments, below, or on Spotify, and we'll add it.
