Customer Reviews

Kenny, I Love Ya, But.....
I'm a long time fan, going back to L&M, seeing the 'High Adventure' tour, and sticking by Kenny ever since. It's normal for folks going through a painful breakup to feel the need to reinvent themselves, but the country twang makes me cringe (and I'm a country fan, too). Maybe on one cut for fun, but it just doesn't feel right especially with the (where did they come from?) strings stuck in the middle of This Too Will Pass. It's like Kenny's fumbling around trying to find something that works, obviously analogous to what his wounded post-divorce ego is doing. This collection needs a strong dose of Richard Marx on more than one song (check out I Miss Us and The One That Got Away on 'It's About Time', now those are powerful, lyrical, angst-ridden songs). I feel the real Kenny by just reading the well-written lyrics rather than by listening to this confused music. The best hope is that he means what he says in the last cut, One Last Goodbye Song. Even the up-tempo cuts lack the pure joy that I know Kenny can deliver. When he finds himself again, let's see a CD titled 'Awakening' to celebrate that Kenny's back, enhanced by a new maturity, insight, excitement about life's possibilities, and great cohesive music. Sorry, I just can't listen to this one over and over.

Making Art Out of Life
(I'm glad HOW ABOUT NOW has been rereleased in a wider form than when I originally bought it as a special Target release. This is the review I'd written when it first came out then:)

I've been a Kenny Loggins fan for most of my life (I'm a little too young to remember much about Loggins & Messina) and what I've always appreciated about his songwriting was his willingness to reflect so much of his personal life in his music.

In his last CD, "It's About Time", he sang about the everyday clutter that erodes passion in the song "I Miss Us" and the distance that grows between parents and their children dealing with divorce in "The One That Got Away." (It wasn't all bleak: the title cut is another fantastic collaboration with Michael McDonald--It's About Time they started making music again!).

I got to meet Kenny backstage while he was touring for the last CD and he seemed distracted and down. Then I heard he was getting divorced.

He's always been an artist who can turn his most personal pain into great music. On a recent tour last year, he sang "How About Now" and said that this new CD would be released in '07. Listening to it, you can hear a powerful voice of experience behind the songs, an authentic struggle to deal with problems and situations that a lot of us are in right now. Instead of trying to take the pulse of what's popular, Kenny has always tapped into a truthful vein by confronting his own experiences.

I remember a quote from the 1993 film of SHADOWLANDS: "We read to know that we're not alone." I thought of that while listening to Kenny's latest CD: I definitely know that I'm not alone while listening to these songs.

This is a great CD. Kenny's voice is fantastic
What a great CD. Love all the songs. Kenny stills sounds like he did in the 70's. He sounds the same in concert live also. I don't know what the one reviewer was on when he said Kenny sounded like an old man! Jealous, maybe? Doubt he has had the career that Kenny has! Love How About Now especially. Fantastic. Don't miss this one. it is great!!!!!
