A perfect "homage" to SoCal-infused '70s-styled pop, rock, and soul. In other words, neo-yacht rock derivations. And while all that may sound pejorative, I love the whole thing and applaud this highly enjoyable effort. This duo, Andy Platts (Young Gun) and Shawn Lee (Silver Fox), is a UK interest that never seems to make it over to the US for shows. Damn shame cuz this band needs more exposure. Heck, they don't even have a Wikipedia entry yet (but they do have a social media presence and their music is available through the usual streaming sites).
At only 43 minutes, this is one of those albums that you'll listen through at least twice before moving on to something else (most likely their 2015 debut album West End Coast, which I also highly recommend). Great car-driving album, too. But don't take my word for it, check this out: Young Gun Silver Fox Create Best Yacht Rock Album of Last 35 Years with AM Waves.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: did not chart
Tracks: It's all smooth. My top picks today are Lenny, Underdog, Mojo Rising, Caroline, Kingston Boogie, and Lolita. That's 60% of the album, if that tells you anything. And the other 40% ain't far behind.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None.
