Music Box: Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary
Directed by Garret Price
Produced by The Ringer Films, HBO Documentary Films
A celebratory, groove-filled documentary that reclaims soft rock's legacy through affection for a maligned but enduring genre.
This documentary chronicles the rise, fall, and rise again of the soft rock epitomized by artists such as Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, and Toto in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Retroactively dubbed "Yacht Rock," the easy-listening genre came to be gently mocked and even dismissed by rock lovers and critics. However, it has since reclaimed its place in music history and is celebrated in this groove-infused film.
