VARIOUS ARTISTS - Now That's What I Call Yacht Rock (US) (Sealed) (CD)

US pressing. The team at ‘NOW That’s What I Call Music’ have come up with the ideal soundtrack to listen to whilst you’re out cruising on your yacht this season. ‘Now That’s What I Call Yacht Rock’, a series of ‘yacht rock’ classics, will be sailing into record stores next month. ‘Yacht rock’ refers to the brand of smooth, mellow, soft rock, often from the 1970’s and early ‘80s, which frequently features elements of Jazz, R&B and soul music. Some of the genre’s biggest names include Toto, Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald. The term ‘yacht rock’ originated from an online video series in 2005 and was initially somewhat derogatory, but has now been adopted by music fans and artists alike.
