Released: July 1980 Seals & Crofts The Longest Road Genre: Yacht Rock On A Smooth Jazz Cruise To Gilligan's Island Rating: 1.5 out of 5 Highlights: when it ended 10 thoughts on The Longest Road by Seals and Crofts 1. The Longest Road? More like the longest 42 minutes of my life. 2. The album that got S&C mercilessly dropped from their label. 3. Their first album with no Crofts in the writing credits, a fact that may be useful as a trivia question answer. 4. The patented Seals and Crofts vocal harmonies do show up on occasion. 5. I wonder who called in a favor and got them Herbie Hancock and Stanley Clarke? 6. Even the Jazz legends can’t make it swing, so forget about searching for meaning here. 7. Torture music for insomniacs. 8. If yacht rock’s your bag be careful not to barf in this one. 9. In hindsight one can see their begging for world peace here was not at all effective. Half a point for trying. 10 Why couldn’t this have been the legendary lost album that explored the intersection of Seals and Crofts and Sid and Marty Krofft?
