Editorial Reviews

Raven presents two multi-platinum selling albums on one CD, for the first time, from a true country/pop superstar - KENNY ROGERS. The Grammy and multi-CMA Award winning Rogers came to prominence with the New Christy Minstrels and the First Edition before striking out on his own. His breakthrough solo album Kenny Rogers (1977) has never been reissued on CD before now and even his mega-hit LP from 1979 Kenny has been unavailable for many years. All the more surprising when you consider that Kenny reputedly sold five million copies worldwide and that between them, these two albums were on the album charts for 78 weeks and include no less than three US country #1 hits - ‘Lucille', ‘You Decorated My Life' and ‘Coward of the County'. These are the kind of character-based story songs that suited Rogers' grainy voice and endeared him to the hearts of millions of fans. ‘Lucille' also hit #5 on the US Pop charts and gained Rogers his first Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance. As a bonus we've added another US country #1 hit, the enduring ‘She Believes in Me'. Other highlights on this unforgettable 2-for-1 CD combination include such authentic and earthy performances as ‘Till I Get It Right' and ‘Mother Country Music', plus Rogers own revelatory interpretations of country-pop standards like ‘Green, Green Grass of Home', ‘Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp' and ‘Tulsa Turnaround'.

Both of these albums were / are prime examples of Kenny's wonderful country soul music. The cd arrived in perfect condition, and the remastered sound is great. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Kenny Rogers/Kenny (Audio CD)

I grew up on Kenny Rogers "Kenny," so the inclusion of his first solo album here as well is introducing me to more of his music - and I like it! The one critique of the cd I have is that the sound quality and volume are uneven - it's clearly not remastered - so when listening to it in the car, for example, I find myself turning up and down the volume with each song, sometimes even mid song. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier to have finally found "Kenny" on cd - takes me back!
