While big names like Steely Dan, Toto, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, and, of course, Michael McDonald justifiably find their way onto many different Yacht Rock lists, sometimes you want to get the boat a little further away from the marina. Here, you’ll find two hours of certified Yacht Rock that goes deep into the sea of smooth with under-appreciated genre cornerstones like Pages, Bill Champlin, and Marc Jordan, as well as some unexpected voyagers like jazz icons Patti Austin and Sergio Mendes, Japanese City Pop maestro Makoto Mastushita, and, of course, Michael McDonald … or at least his wife, Amy Holland.
