Description
"Just what is 'yacht rock', you ask? Perhaps the easiest description is: music that would not sound out of place being played while carousing aboard a yacht back in the good old days. But these songs were also some of the top pop gems of the 70s and 80s. And while some associate yacht rock's biggest songs with one-hit wonder artists, several of rock's most renowned artists fall under this category, too including Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, The Doobie Brothers, Toto, and more. By the early twenty-first century, yacht rock seemed to have become extinct until a comedic video series, simply titled Yacht Rock, went viral and introduced captain's hats and blazers to a whole new generation as well as the emergence of a popular cover band, the Yacht Rock Revue. Now, yacht rock is one of the most celebrated yesteryear styles of pop music, and has resonated with a new generation of musicians. This is the definitive story of the yacht rock's creation, rise, chart-smashing success, fall, and stunning rebirth."--
