"Summertime Rolls" is the long, slow exhale on Nothing's Shocking, Jane's Addiction's 1988 album, and it proves this band could hypnotize as well as it could bludgeon. Eric Avery's bass line does the steering, looping and patient, Stephen Perkins rides the cymbals like waves, Dave Navarro lets his guitar shimmer before it erupts, and Perry Farrell's voice drifts in from somewhere hazy and sun-struck. All four share the music, and Farrell wrote the words: a languid, dreamy reverie that swells into something close to ecstasy.
