Ep. 144 - Yacht Rock - Boat Songs
from Music Notes with Jess · host Jessica Ann Catena
Originating from southern California, “Yacht Rock” is mellow soft rock music from the 1970s and 1980s, incorporating jazz fusion, harmonized vocals, and bouncy rhythms. The name came from a 2005 web series of that title, influencing musicologists to further analyze. There’s playlists, countdowns, online polls, cover bands, podcasts, and streaming stations branding yacht rock. At the helm of my own interpretation, I crafted a 10 song playlist in chronological order, to lyrically make you feel you’re on a yacht.
