Columbia/Legacy's 2001 release The Essential Kenny Loggins lives up to its billing, and not just because it has all of Loggins' solo hits. No, this collection earns its title because it contains no less than seven Kenny-fronted Loggins & Messina tracks, along with all his big solo hits, plus a sharp selection of album tracks and latter-day material, for a grand total of 35 tracks over two CDs. That's a lot of material, and many listeners may find that they are drawn to the first disc, which truly captures him in his prime by spanning from "Your Mama Don't Dance" to the era just before "Footloose." This is a compulsively listenable disc, from the sweet singer/songwriterisms of "Danny's Song" and "House at Pooh Corner" to the exquisitely crafted soft rock of "This Is It" and "Heart to Heart," two of the greatest singles of their kind. If the second disc isn't as good, it's largely because it's a mishmash of dated '80s productions and latter-career cultism; there's still good stuff here, but apart from the first six songs, it's for the serious fan. That, however, is not a criticism that can be lodged of The Essential Kenny Loggins as a whole, since it far exceeds any other compilation in its scope and its success, presenting all sides of this fine, mellow singer/songwriter. Plus, the first disc is a stellar listen in its own right. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Musical Guests Bob James Harvey Mason Lee Ritenour Eric Gale Richard Tee Robben Ford Paulinho Da Costa   Compilation Appearances Benoit/Freeman Project Child's Celebration Of Song Footloose (Bonus Tracks) Top Gun-Original Soundtrack (SACD) Songs Of West Side Story Child's Celebration Of Song 2 Vol. 2-Sounds Of Wood & Steel Easy Rock Ultimate 80's Jukebox Hits Of The 80's Tunesmith The Songs Of Jimmy Webb Smoke From A Distant Fire Today's Christmas #1 Hits: Retro 80's Rock Hits Of The 80'S-3cd Tin Eazy Rock Ultimate Collection (Box) Treasury Of Christmas: The Greatest Holiday Duets First Of May Heartbeat Of Love Classic Soft Rock Christmas Sesame Street Elmopalooza Ultimate 80'S Collection Top Of The Pop Hits:70's Vol 1 17 Again Sherman Brothers Songbook   Technical Info Release Date : 11/19/2002 Original Release Date : 2002 Catalog ID : 86282 Label : Legacy Recordings Number of Discs : 2 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00696998628229    Product Image
