DESCRIPTION:
(from HBO's web site, November 2024) Music Box: Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary chronicles the rise, fall, and rise again of the soft rock epitomized by artists such as Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, and Toto in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Retroactively dubbed "Yacht Rock," the easy-listening genre came to be gently mocked and even dismissed by rock lovers and critics. However, it has since reclaimed its place in music history and is celebrated in this groove-infused film.

Ryznar and host Steve Huey, and comedian Fred Armisen. HBO Documentary Films presents Music Box: Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary, a Ringer Films production in association with Margot Station.
