Description
Yacht rock was one of the most commercially successful genres to emerge from the '70s and yet has managed to evade concise definition since its inception. For many listeners, it boils down to a feeling or mood that cannot be found in other kinds of music: Simply put, you know it when you hear it.
Some agreed-upon elements are crucial to yacht rock. One is its fluidity, with more emphasis on a catchy, easy-feeling melody than on beat or rhythm. Another is a generally lighthearted attitude in the lyrics.

Yacht rock refers to the soft rock that dominated FM radio airwaves in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Yacht rock is characterized by glossy production, breezy vocals, and bouncy rhythms—all elements thought to evoke relaxing bay cruises in Southern California, where the genre originated. Some artists commonly included in the yacht rock genre are: The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Christopher Cross, Robbie Dupree, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Fleetwood Mac, Michael McDonald, Rupert Holmes, Toto, and Steely Dan..

Privately pressed in late 70s, Jerry Thomas a fan of Blues Rock created a very nice Soft Rock/AOR album with a strong "blues band". You feel the bluesy touch in the background, making it quite a unique Yacht Rock album.
After death of his wife Jerry reunited with some of the old band members and recorded two CDs full of old songs. Honestly said, did not play the CDs for long time, but ever since I played them in a car. I must say they are 5 out of 5 stars. Might be even better than the LP. And they could have been a success in the 70s. Definitely worth looking them up as well.
The cover sets the mood genially. Lot's of love songs, breezy mood, soft vibe and you feel like on a first vacation with your loved one walking on the seashore.
Definitely don't need to be a blues fan at all to enjoy it.
First up - this is a beautiful record and Jerry a kind hearted soul. Highly recommended!
