Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary

“…as the entertaining, breezy and comprehensive documentary “Music Box: Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary” (yes, they spell it that way) on HBO/Max so aptly points out, this thing we call Yacht Rock is an expansive, somewhat arbitrary term that encompasses a wide range of music produced by some enormous talented artists in the 1970s and 1980s — music that even if we don’t love, we most definitely should respect.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

“Yacht Rock is most intriguing as a chronicle of the cat-and-mouse relationship between artists’ creativity and the language fans and brands use to describe and promote it. ” – Craig Jenkins, Vulture

“There was an ironic hipster element to reviving music that had been languishing in the record store bargain bin. But it wasn’t mean-spirited and this documentary is made in the same vein, with great affection and admiration for the songwriting and musical talent involved. Stars of the genre are interviewed here, alongside music historians and today’s artists who count themselves as fans. It’s a rich history, and heaven for music nerds.” – Anita Singh, The Telegrpah
