Rumpel X SoulNRnB: Yacht 75-85

Somewhere between AOR and Blue Eyed Soul, the recently termed Yacht Rock Exists. A modern re-branding of that late 70's early 80's west coast sound that most imagine Hall and Oates, Kenny Loggins and Micheal McDonald live in. Which is true, but for us soul heads, you cant look through the artists playing or writing on an early 80's Soul LP without finding a member of Toto or Steely Dan or the Average White Band contributing to it.

So, in conjunction with friend of the blog Rumpel who has his own blog here: http://inthelandofmusic.blogspot.com/ we decided to do a 2 hour mix with some great examples of the genre. So if your new to this, or a fully paid up member, or just always dug this tunes without the new re-brand, press play below and transport yourself to the early 80's, west coast style!

Thanks to Rumpel again, stay tuned for moe from Ridym and Grizz's new show which is on ourmusicradio.net on Mondays 6-8pm GMT and also on the blog.
