- YACHT ROCK REVUE: Critics Pick for Best Excuse to Get Drunk With Your Dad
Soft, soaring guitars, sugary keyboards, insipid vocals — this ain't your daddy's rock 'n' roll! Wait, yes it is. For YACHT ROCK REVUE, the past is the point. The band diffidently describes its spot-on covers of '70s soft rock hits as a "joke that won't go away," but the truth is we're glad. Sure, you can hear Boz Scaggs on 97.1 the River anytime, but experiencing "Lido Shuffle" live (and tipsy) is a true night-maker. We're enamored by YRR's commitment to total smoothness, and your mama is, too: The band's live show boasts perhaps the most age-diverse audience in town. Just make sure your mom knows that flashing the band went out with the Doobie Brothers. On the other hand, YRR does a mean version of "What a Fool Believes." nation.pleaserock.com
