You may not have noticed but yacht rock has been having a quite a revival over this past decade. Now after the successful Too Slow To Disco compilation series and Katie Puckrik’s 2018 BBC documentary I Can Go For That: The Smooth World Of Yacht Rock, HBO has picked up on the phenomenon and announced a new documentary series.
For those still scratching their heads at the name, ‘yacht rock’ refers to the sort of music many veterans of the late 60s made in the 1970s and 80s as they (and their audience) grew older and more affluent, and in the US especially, FM radio began to dominate over AM.
