Originally released in 1980 as an independent LP out of San Francisco, California, Relax, You're Soaking In It by Belair is a wonderfully unique record led by guitarist Michael Belair. The album blends a laid-back jazzy groove with gypsy swing influences, featuring a talented ensemble that includes dual guitars, flute, saxes, and standout violin work by David Balakrishnan.
Now reissued on 180-gram vinyl by Mad About Records, this 2024 pressing gives a new generation of listeners the chance to experience this rare slice of Marin County cool. With its easygoing yet sophisticated sound — somewhere between 70s California vibes and acoustic swing — Relax, You're Soaking In It is a genuinely captivating listen that holds up beautifully decades after its original release.
