Yacht Rock appreciation thread

[Mikebat]

I'm using "rock" loosely since the first song I am posting is a video by a country artist, Lyle Lovett. Post videos of your favorite yacht rock or sailing song that you want to share.

Lyle Lovett - If I Had a Boat

 

[Annapolis E-27]

It will be hard to beat Sail on Sailor

or of course....Sutherland Brothers and Quiver which is of course better than Rod's version. I know I am showing my age.

I did a site search on 'music' and found some nice song lists. Perhaps we could combine the threads, maybe.

Rock On......

Loren

ps: As much as I like the Leon Russell version, I was delighted to find this on the 'net:

[Loren Beach]

Thanks Mark.
And here is a "Recorded version" -- top ten list in my iTunes library. I keep it on a couple of personal-mix CD's for the car.

Sail On.
And -- have another hit of -- Fresh Air!

Regards,

Loren

I wonder if we could get Sean to add or enable the PHPBB plugin that converts YouTube URLs into PHPBB code for embedding them in the thread? Lots of other PHPBB boards have this enabled, and it's pretty convenient for this kind of thread.

Ride Captain Ride by Blues Image. Yeah, a concept short film from 1970 (what we call a music video today). Way ahead of their time, these guys were. Procol Harum did a few of these, too, but I can't find one for "Salty Dog."

 

[Mikebat]

Here's a live performance from 1971 of A Salty Dog by Procol Harum but it's not the "concept" video I wanted to find.

Come on man, if you want Rock!


I'm a sailor peg
And I lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston ... wayy-yooo!
I'm shipping up to Boston ... wayyyyyy-yo!
I'm shipping up to Boston ... wayy-yooo!
I'm shipping off ... to find my wooden leg!

I'm a sailor peg
And I lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston ... wayy-yooo!
I'm shipping up to Boston ... wayyyyyy-yo!
I'm shipping up to Boston ... wayy-yooo!
I'm shipping off ... to find my wooden leg!
