Yacht 11 2022

Set sail with NOW That's What I Call Yacht Rock 2! Featuring tons of your favorite summertime yacht rock classics, making it's CD/vinyl debut on the Now Numbered Series! Yacht Rock was a term coined for smooth soft rock usually from the 1970s and early '80s. 'NOW That's What I Call Yacht Rock Volume 2' presents an ideal 18-track lineup of songs to float to this summer, including Kenny Loggins featuring Stevie Nicks, Michael McDonald, Gerry Rafferty, Chicago, REO Speedwagon, Air Supply, Eric Carmen, Paul Davis, Toto, Little River Band, Seals & Crofts, Gordon Lightfoot, Elvin Bishop, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Walter Egan, Exile, Captain & Tennille, Santana, and many more.

This summer, dive with us into the often-overlooked sea of late ‘70s/early ’80s Italian Soul, AOR and Disco. Compiled by journalist, producer and digger extraordinaire David Nerattini (with a little help from our own Pierpaolo De Sanctis), PAISA’ GOT SOUL is the smooth and near-danceable soundtrack to a decade that is somehow still with us. A time of gentle grooves, summer loves and sweet escapism – one beautifully captured by Claude Nori in his photographs of Italian beaches and summer holidays. Welcome to the mood of an era.

The second album from classic-sounding Yacht Rock and West Coast artist Page 99 features a stellar cast of musicians including Bill & Tamara Champlin, Peter Friestedt, Paul Pesco, and more! Page 99 was founded to keep the ideals of great West Coast music of the 1970’s and ‘80’s alive. Interesting chord progressions, sophisticated melodies, and top-level musicianship are values that should never be lost or diminished. In the style of artists such as Toto, Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, Marc Jordan, Kenny Loggins, The Doobie Brothers, Pages, Airplay, and more!
