Rock legend Rick Derringer and his wife Jenda Derringer return with Rock the Yacht, the latest in a series of projects ranging from Beatles interpretations to inspirational music that the pair have co-written and performed. This collection features eight original tracks written by Rick and Jenda, with Alice Cooper and Bernie Taupin sharing songwriting credit on “If I Weren’t So Romantic.”
The album ranges from playful, such as on the smooth duet “Hot and Cool,” to poignant, as on the plaintive “Winter.” “The United States” is a patriotic banger that expresses the Derringers’ love for their country, and “Good To Go” is a touching testimony to their love for each other. Every track features the brilliant guitar work that has made Rick Derringer one of music most admired six-stringers. This album also draws on Rick’s vast repertoire of musical styles, resulting in an album that is as pleasing to the ears as it is
