Enjoy more sunny breezes from the West Coast! 😊 The working title of this cloudcast was initially ‘classic yacht rock’ and that’s pretty much what you can expect. The closing track by Dionne Warwick is from the upcoming compilation album Too Slow To Disco: Yacht Soul 2:

“The concept here concerns R&B and soul artists mining the songbooks of their white contemporaries for cover versions that serve the dual purposes of potentially garnering some crossover radio airplay as well as introducing great songs to segments of the listening public who might otherwise miss them.”
