HBO's 'Yacht Rock' Doc Revives the Smooth Sounds of the '70s and '80s
The new HBO documentary 'Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary,' directed by Garret Price, explores the legacy of '70s and '80s soft rock, a genre humorously coined by the 2005 web series 'Yacht Rock.' Featuring interviews with artists like Michael McDonald and Christopher Cross, the film delves into the genre's roots, its influence from Black music, and its impact on modern musicians. While some artists initially resisted the 'yacht rock' label, the documentary highlights the genre's significant place in music history and its enduring appeal.
