5.0 out of 5 stars Where is the "real" album?, May 19, 1999
By A Customer
When Dave Loggins first did this album, it was called "Apprentice in a Musical Workshop." Not only did it contain such greats as "Please Come to Boston," it also had one of the best recordings I have ever heard. It was named "My Father's Fiddle." When are you folks going to bring this total album back on a CD, so I can finally throw out my old vinyl copy along with it's scratches? Let me know when you have it. I will order it immediately. Thanks! From a "DAVE LOGGINS fan from WAY BACK !! Don

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best songwriters/singers of the '70s, February 26, 2000
I discovered DL one night when I heard "One Way Ticket to Paradise" on the radio. I immediately went out and bought the album by the same name. It turned out to be one of the best albums I have ever listened to! I then made it a point to buy all his work. Unfortunately for DL his "signature" song PCTB is on his worst album, which is probably why he never made it big. Personal Belongings is probably one of the most emotional albums (which I rebought on CD as soon as it appeared) I ever listened to. This may be the only album I have listened to more then OWTTP. I just don't understand why his albums never got released on CD (aside from PB)? It's ironic that he didn't win a Grammy until after he stopped recording (with Anne Murray, a song which his voice soared over hers). You really can't find a songwriter with as good of a singing voice as DL and considering how popular country has become (his music is basically a combination of folk, pop, and country), it's amazing that he isn't at the top of the music industry instead of singing songs for McDonalds commercials (like he did a decade ago). This compilation looks like a good collection of DL's best stuff, so I would wholeheartedly recommend it (although I'd recommend buying the full albums if they were only available) If you ever see OWTTP buy it, it's great (Goodbye Eyes is also from that excellent album)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most underrated albums!, July 5, 1999
By A Customer
While his Uncle Kenny was off trying to reinvent folk with Jim Messina, Nephew Dave was attempting to emerge from his famous relative's shadow by forging an identity as a straight-ahead rocker. While most music aficionadoes recognize "Please Come to Boston," one of the most beautiful, haunting ballads of all times, they probably don't realize that the rest of the material from this album, which received next-to-no airplay, is gritty, garage style punk. I don't think that most people realize the debt that contemporary bands like Pavement and Hole owe to Dave Loggins, who was out criss-crossing the USA playing Indie Rock long before the term was coined.
