SoulNRnB's West Coast Yacht 2

 

Second part of my occassional delve into the sounds of L.A back in the late 70s early 80's; Referenced as Yacht Rock, West Coast, Blue Eyed Soul, whatever. It truly is one of the genre's that brings back memories and feelings of the time itself. 

Sit out in the park, stick on some headphones, and wether its summer or not where  you are, it will be in your head.

SoulNRnB X Rumpel - Mellow Grooves

 

A fifth collaboration with my Mixcloud associate and musical compadre Rumpel features some soul steppers from the 70's to the 90's. From the classic to the obscure, from greats to the criminally unknown, weve got a great selection of slow jams for you all.

I've tried to compliment Rumpels choices by staying away from his expertise in 70's and 80's soul veterans and under the radar tracks by concentrating on classics with a splash of 90's in the hope that you enjoy an all round Mellow Soul experience.

Thanks to Rumpel for the excellent work, be sure to check out his blog here: inthelandofmusic.blogspot.com and also his music stream on Mixcloud here: https://www.mixcloud.com/Rumpel_Star/
