Player’s self-titled debut album introduced listeners to the band’s smooth blend of soft rock that would be featured on yacht rock playlists for years to come. Featuring a polished sound and sophisticated production, the album is best known for its hit single “Baby Come Back” which effectively defines yacht rock for me– catchy melodies, harmonies galore, and a smoothness that is only rivaled by Skippy Peanut Butter. With its blend of mellow grooves and infectious hooks, the album captures the essence of the late ’70s soft rock radio era.
