When I was 10 years old, I had this in the 8-track format. I loved it. "This Is It" is the big hit, but Mr. Night is the one to listen to. I would probably just get compilation album if you're not much of a Loggins fan, but... any serious collector NEEDS this album. As a note to Caddyshack fans: Mr. Night was used in the movie in the Caddy Pool scene. Later!

Since he began his solo career Kenny Loggins' had been able to abley blend pop,jazz-funk and soul into a sleek and distinctive sound all while basking under the name of west coast rock or "soft rock". After his previous album Nightwatch Kenny jettisoned producer Bob James for the better known Tom Dowd. That doesn't really matter much in terms of his music because this album delivered what had to be Loggins' most consistant and fluid album even since his wonderful debut. The album starts out with the only two rockers on the album,the driving "Love Has Come Of Age" and the goofy rockabilly of "Mr.Night" which 80's movie goers will likely recognize from that hilarious swimming pool scene in Caddyshack. "This Is It" is yet another one of those songs you really have to hear in it's entirety to appreciate it's harmonic subtleties. Years of radio ware really took the emphasis off what a great build this song has from this breezy jazz-funk flavor to it's famous disco-pop hook. "Junkanoo Holiday (Fallin-Flyin')" is one of those excellent album tracks that went undeservadly burried in the middle of this album. It's a fierce funk-rocker with this locked down groove at the end with one of the finest slap bass lines ever on a Kenny Loggins album. Loggins is probably the last person whose name would come up for credit with even one hard core funk jam but this song definately qualifies as that one anyway. There are three finely crafted ballads in the folky Burt Bacharach collaboration on "Now and Then" as well as the two jazzy pop closers "Give It Half A Chance" and "Will It Last". One of my main reasons for getting into this album was when I heard about "Who's Right,Who's Wrong". Now musically it's a great saxaphone led jazz-pop groove with a Quincy Jones flavor not lost in the fact of whose providing a standout harmony vocal on the song-the late Michael Jackson himself and his scalling coos and woos provide a great blanket for Kenny's own vocal style. The title song has a nice anthemic pop-fusion flavor to it with some terrific melodic dynamics to it,typical of the late 70's in many ways but still not a bad idea. Even if all the songs on this album don't sound alike the creamy production,musicianship as well as the great compositions make this a stand out 70's pop album with all the good intact and one of the shinning moments of Loggins' career.
