Katie Puckrik sets sail once again through the classic pop-soul and soft rock of the 70s and 80s. Welcome to the luxury soundtrack to your imaginary millionaire lifestyle. Yacht Rock is enjoying a renaissance among a new generation of music lovers, inspired by the genre's sonic sophistication.
Katie鈥檚 1970s childhood in suburban Virginia was sound tracked by these slick, aspirational sounds. "Yacht Rock was everywhere, although we didn't call it that at the time. This gently funky, upwardly mobile music sailed out of girlfriends' cassette players and older boys' muscle car radios. The message from Hall & Oates, Robert Palmer, The Doobies and their brethren was that being a grown up was all about freedom and dancing, as well as the occasional tequila-tinged heartache.鈥
In this, her third show for Radio 2, Katie features more tracks from Yacht Rock legends like Christopher Cross, Steely Dan and Steve Winwood, some newer tracks from the Bird and The Bee and Pennebaker, and some surprising Yacht excursions from Elton John and David Cassidy.
