Trammell Starks - Smooth Sailing

[@sourlemon83]

"Who's your favorite band?" "Umm... the Weather Channel?"

[@heyy-yaa]

trammell starks, ryan farish, the rippingtons (russ freeman) the holy weather channel trinity imo

[@hume7171]

Amazing Music; however, Ryan Farish doesn't sound as good as Trammell Starks and the Rippingtons.

[@gibranhaw]

​@@hume7171 That's why 猫 シ Corp. never sampled him (as far as I know).

[@TJCoolzD]

this reminds me of the late 2000s so much. such an underrated era of the world. just Nintendo Wii, Weatherscan, and PS3. sillybandz, hexbugs, bop it got remastered, thomas and friends still had the real models, nickelodeon and cartoon network had unique underrated cartoons coming up. such a great time.

[@chordandjocks]

damn... we really are getting old. 😢

[@drooples1814]

THIS IS THE LATE 2000S!!

[@tomyfamily1]

This is one of my favorite travel songs. the type you hear when you wakeup in the hotel, Put on some coffee, shower and hit the road.

[@danwinkler2274]

LOL, yup I'm sure a lot of truck drivers over the years have heard these tunes a few hundred times 😂😋

[@johnackerman2085]

This to me is a great driving song. Whenever I hear this song, I picture myself on the highway for some reason

[@boijamal2583]

Makes me think of going to the airport on an early morning and hearing this with the forecast being shown on a TV at the gate.

[@jasongallinoto5102]

I thought I was the only one that like this.👍

[@theearlofdd7326]

Same here. I travel a ton for a living and it’s on regular rotation.

[@billyboy8534]

This song just drips that 90's summer time feel. Never thought I'd feel it again.

[@jasongallinoto5102]

👍Yes It Does!😎

[@DMill8823]

It always seemed to air during the summer of 97 at 4:58pm

[@frysco5927]

Yeah it's almost like i'm gonna start hearing bobby brown or will smith rap over this lol

[@brandonjohnson7729]

Same here man this music so nostalgic real 90s vibes right here. I actually remember this tune while watching the weather forecast

[@johngligo4049]

Takes me back to Summer 1997! Trammell’s music kept me calm when we had bad thunderstorms affecting us!

[@THEtechknight]

SWV Right here. Human nature mix.

[@jmiller297]

*BAM!!* #90s4theWIN

[@Reefdevil]

This brings back good memories of the mid-1990s during the summer as a child. You would be playing outside and at around 3pm... you usually heard thunder rumbling... so you would run inside, turn on the weather channel, get all sweaty and feel like you had to take a massive shit in anticipation when the old weatherstar would come on.... just to see where that storm was and if it was going to hit your house! Maybe I just have IBS.

[@pharaohosam]

Play Sonic the Hedgehog and Madden 92 on Sega, check The Weather Channel just for fun, play basketball and football outside, check The Weather Channel again just for fun. Repeat. I miss childhood :(

[@Duvmasta]

pharaohosam i remember the ski doo commercials on there along with the michelin tire commercials

[@shyguykid8709]

Yep I even feel a little Spring Yard Zone in it

[@Spynmaster]

Now play this WHILE playing Sonic the Hedgehog

[@rubendominguez5260]

Listening to South Park psycho

[@TJCoolzD]

you just made me have a familiar memory of something in the 90s. And I was born in the 2000s.

[@missmilky6677]

I had no idea there were other people out there who liked this stuff

[@towerenthusiast]

I miss the 90's, when things seemed stable and peaceful. Too much craziness and unrest nowadays. This music takes me back to a calmer state of mind.

[@linkfreeman1998]

In the West, it is peaceful. Not really for Eastern Europe and Middle East my man. Craziness and unrest is been here the whole time, since forever.

[@brandonjohnson7729]

​@@linkfreeman1998Let the man enjoy his peace dam bruh

[@BladeEdge121212]

I first heard this in 1996 on Local on the 8's. Been in my head ever since.

[@darionpope1876]

Omg I wanna go back to these day when I would binge watch the weather channel and this would come during the local 8

[@isamjensen]

I can't wait until I get my own car because this is something that I can drive to.

'90s summers watching TWC and staying cool in the 100F heat.

[@ExtremeMedium]

I never had cable as a child, but my grandpa did. I miss him and this song reminds me of him.

[@starrtasiajackson9275]

Best Tramell Starks song of all time. Listen to it everywhere I go

[@ssye2618]

One of the best Weather Channel/Trammel Starks tracks of all time. Old school TWC with that nostalgic therapy. Good times!

[@DeAngeloStevens]

Lisa Spencer, Jodi Saeland, Terri Smith, Jeanetta Jones, Cheryl Lemke, Sharon Resultan, Vivian Brown, Kim Perez (Cunningham), Kristina Abernathy are Weather Channel babes of the 90's.

[@spark4039]

Infinity frequencies sampled this in their song called "Breeze"

[@kylechambers]

Wait, the beginning of CVLTVRE's "Poolside Plaza" (vaporwave song)? Huh... Still, absolutely amazing, relaxing, and unlike today's music, music that's pre-2010-12 had so much more effort put into the composition to make it sound melodic. I admire the efforts by these people. :)

[@sbriggs101]

I though it sounded like vaporwave...

[@rhyta5042]

@@sbriggs101 This predates vaporware, more like they borrowed from this.

[@director5325]

@@rhyta5042 They did borrow from this. Not that I’m complaining though, it sounds lovely both by itself and in vaporwave.

[@jasongallinoto5102]

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! 👍

[@endoplasmicreticulum8357]

I came to the comments for this lmao wow I had no idea this is where it was from but makes perfect sense.

[@ryukomatoi4128]

猫 シ Corp. sampled this in his album OASYS 博物館 !

[@dianacrippa3093]

Dan Mason sampled it too in "Late Nite Television"

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

This song makes my mornings happy.

[@tashadanielle3134]

This song sounds like Right Here by SWV/ Michael Jackson Human Nature Remix.

I thought the same thing. Love will be right here♩♩

I'm eating a bagel with cream cheese in a nearly empty airport terminal in 1998. Just me and my carry on.

[@DMill8823]

I instantly go back to when I was 9, in the summer of 97 when I hear this...the Chicago Bulls just won their 5th championship, Good Burger, Family Matters, Sister Sister, Nickelodeon, smooth jazz on WSJT, NBA Live, and daily afternoon thunderstorms around 5pm in Tampa.

[@rmm2370]

Fellow Tampa 90s kid with identical nostalgia checking in. Big "sitting in the back seat while dad drives over the Courtney Campbell Causeway, storm clouds rolling in" vibes.

[@Vyseblues]

I'm surprised that haven't released a CD and/or digital collection of TWC music. I'd buy it!

[@bigdog41407]

Listen to this song...then listen to "Right Here Human Nature" by SWV.

Same drum loop!

[@Harlow65220]

omg!!!!!!! I have been searching for this for so many years. I've it since I heard it on the weather channel in the 90s, even had it recorded on vhs, so glad I typed in the weather channel music and just searched till I found it. this will definitely be on my KZbin playlist.

[@jasongallinoto5102]

Me Too! Just found it this morning. 👍

Hell yea dude this is my genre! I severely miss leaving the weather channel on around the house softly whispering it’s good vibes through my old cathode ray tube TV’s speakers

[@davidcolantuono3622]

Brings me back to when I still loved watching The Weather Channel and their Local Forecasts before they changed near the end of the 1990s.

[@MrOlblue43]

Now I can listen to this all the time! Thanks

[@patriciabradley301]

So soothing and relaxing to listen to after a long day. Great evening music, I love this.

[@millenniumman75]

There was a 2 CD set (I think) that was provided to the Weather Channel. It was never commercially sold, although he may have a MySpace or Facebook page.

I don't know why TWC jumped the shark so badly...even their Local on the 8s are awful today. Really miss this classic music and their holiday (4th of July, Halloween, etc.) flavors.

[@jln55]

They were losing audience, and this was an attempt to breathe new life into the channel. (Internet explosion made TWC somewhat redundant). They did ruin it, I think.

[@fireweatherguy]

they sold TWC to NBC in the early 2000s and they changed everything
