5.0 out of 5 stars What's missing?, August 4, 2003

By	E. Macomber "gmonet" (New Bern, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a superb mix of his best stuff with some notable exceptions. Kenny did a Little David release with Don Costa's sensational arrangements where Sunny Get's Blue and Here's That Rainy Day take on a life of their own. I have no idea why they were left out here, but this one's worth having on it's own merits. But, you have not heard all of Kenny until you get his "Kenny Rankin Album."

5.0 out of 5 stars His best known work, September 4, 2002

By	M. Basil "MikeyBikey" (Canada, eh?) - See all my reviews

I love Kenny! This is a collection of his most popular work. It's a very good introduction to Kenny's older work. I hope that at some point we get a collection of other great work he's done, especially those that are just available on imports like Mind Dusters and Family, maybe even a "Best of Kenny Rankin 2: Lesser Known Work".

5.0 out of 5 stars You Will Love This CD, February 14, 2004

By	Robert A. Guthenberg "bo9738" (New York City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard Kenny Rankin on WNEW-FM 102.7 circa 1967. He is one of the most talented people in the music business. For those of you who remember Johnny Carson, you might be interested to know that he was a guest on that program more than anyone else during Carson's career. Listen to the samples. The greatest compliment is Paul McCartney's: he invited Kenny to his induction the the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" because "No one performs Blackbird better than you." His Beatle cover versions are not to be missed!
