I Can Go For That: The Smooth World of Yacht Rock

Description: Katie Puckrik voyages through a halcyon period of Los Angeles studio craft when studio-based artists like The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan and Hall and Oates produced the smoothest R&B and married it to adult themes about longing, aspiration and melancholy. In its day this music was never identified as a genre, but in the 21st century, in a nod to its finely crafted nature, it has come to be known as Yacht Rock.
Genre: TV program
