The gentle rise, fall, and revival of Seventies soft rock rolls along like a boat amongst the waves in the new trailer Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary , arriving Nov. 29 on HBO .
Directed by Garret Price, Yacht Rock looks at the history and legacy of this genre of music, which was spearheaded by a handful of supremely talented white musicians, drawing on Black music traditions, working in Southern California in the late Seventies. The new trailer opens with a trio of talking heads accurately describing the genre known alternately as soft rock, adult-oriented rock, and (of course) yacht rock.
