4.0 out of 5 stars Influential and beautiful, June 23, 2000

Undoubtedly "Sittin' In" was one of the seminal albums for the singer-songwriter genre of the 1970s, and was also highly typical (and yet influential) of the growing California sound. Kenny Loggins's pairing with Jim Messina was one of those magical happenstances you look back on years later with wonder, like Crosby & Nash inviting Stills over one afternoon.

Although the achingly beautiful "Danny's Song" (with which Anne Murray had a big hit later) is worth the entire purchase price of the CD, there are other standouts as well, including the popular "House at Pooh Corner," "Back to Georgia," and the trilogy of "Lovin' Me," "To Make a Woman Feel Wanted," and "Peace of Mind."

Though their other albums together may not have been as strong, "Sittin' In" is a clear and enjoyable demonstration of the potential they had and the songwriting gifts they both possessed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A watershed album...quintessential 70's country rock., September 10, 1998

This is an album which moved mainstream rock into a country groove and introduced the genius of Kenny Loggins to the world. We have here, the brillance of Kenny's and Jim's music and the budding of Michael Omartian's producing skills. It's a timeless album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly Styled, June 17, 2001

What can I say? This pairing of Loggins and Messina really jells on this record. Rock, acoustic, blues, and even a little carribean soul. That Vaheevalah number really has a nice spirit. Danny's Song and House At Pooh Corner are just so pretty. And Nobody But You and Back to Georgia have a good rock beat. Perfectly sequenced this one is a winner on all accounts.
