Rock Me Softly III – Part 2

A few summers ago, I was back in the U.S. after being overseas for two years and had to borrow my brother-in-law’s convertible for the day to do some errands. The car had Sirius XM radio and was set to the Bridge, a channel featuring mostly ‘70s soft rock, lite rock, yacht rock, or whatever, and it was the perfect mix of music for cruising around town with the top down.

Jim Croce

Soft rock is for when you’re tired of thinking and searching and just want to settle in with some old faithful rock tunes that aren’t going to disappoint or distract you from what you’re trying to get done, whether it’s driving down the highway, writing a blog, or hosting a summer barbecue. And hey, if you discover a new soft rock favorite, then all the better. Here are some more of mine. Enjoy!
