I like this kind of country folk or psychedelic folk a lot, but I don't quite understand why it is called 'AOR', 'hot tub soul' and 'sunset disco'. Maybe someone can explain?

Hi Professor Eddy! Thanks for saying you like the mix. I will try to explain the genre labels - I try and not get stuck in a genre bubble and the genre names are the mix are a little tongue in cheek. I guess my Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadour mixes are more in the line psychedelic folk. But on my AOR mixes I try to go for SSW and more Album-oriented rock angle. I wouldn't call Johnny Cobb, Ron Drago or most of the others folk. Gary Marks and NazzJazz are more Jazz. And Parrish & Gurvitz and The News are what I'd call AOR. Perhaps trying to come up with genres even tongue in cheek is a bit confusing - the next mix I will just call 'A Mix For AOR Disco' - hope that helps explain and thanks for listening <3 pH
