The gravel-and-grits voice of Kenny Rogers ultimately came to define the "Urban Cowboy" era of pop excess, even as the earlier "Lucille" and "The Gambler" were some of the most galvanizing story songs in country music's history. Looking back at this body of hits, it's easy to poke fun at the treacley "You Decorated My Life" or wince at the cheesy string arrangements on "Through the Years." It's also natural to wish Rogers had never heard of Sheena Easton, his misguided duet partner on "We've Got Tonight," and recorded more with the soulful, sad Dottie West ("Every Time Two Fools Collide") and the randy Dolly Parton ("Islands in the Stream"). (A bonus track, "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer," pairs him with old pal Kim Carnes.) As the years went by, Rogers got fatter, lazier, and more content to make crappy TV movies and wallow in the flaccid sentimentality of adult contemporary pop ("Buy Me a Rose"). He also got smug--the worst of sins for a man in his business. But behind the microphone, he always knew how to make even the hoariest of lyrics resonate with feeling. And at his peak, he was the perfect male country superstar, equal parts swagger and sweet, sweet promise. --Alanna Nash This retrospective album features 21 of Kenny Rogers' #1 hits collected on one CD, (plus a #2 charting bonus track). 78 minutes of digitally re-mastered music. Also includes "Islands in the Stream," (with Dolly Parton)-named greatest Country duet by CMT.

CD Plays Perfectly
The case arrived neatly wrapped but the case had 2 scratches on the front...in spite of this, the cd itself was flawless, and it plays perfectly.

Nostalgic...
I love listening to vinyl. With vinyl, you can hear different sounds that you wouldn't hear from the radio, cd, or streaming services.

Awesome! Vinyl pressing
Purchased this quite some time ago but never got around to listening. Set up the turntable today, fired it up, and it sounded absolutely fantastic. Definitely a very high quality pressing and remastering of Kenny's greatest hits. I would highly recommend this for any Kenny Rogers fan. The only song missing for me, was Ruby, but I picked it up on another album.

' Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor・・and I love you ' 昔ラジオ日本の「American Top 40」という番組をよく聴いていた。番組のラスト、このケニー・ロジャースの「Lady」が １位として曲がかかった時に子供心になんてしぶい、甘い、かっこいい雰囲気なんだろうと思った(ライオネル・リッチー提供)。 時は１９８０年。彼が４２歳の時である。 その時私が抱いた思いはその後いつ聴いても変わらないままである。 彼の歌手活動は５０年代半ばから。年齢でいうと１０代後半からである。 早くからその、ハスキーでぬくもりが感じられる歌唱法を身に付けていた事は驚きだ。 彼の多くの曲は冒頭にあげさせていただいた様に、アメリカ文化らしい恋愛についての 極めてストレートな歌詞表現であり、個人的には気恥ずかしい思いがあるがそうした事もすべて包み込んで、 伝える事の大切さを教えてくれるかのような歌声は天賦＋努力の賜物だと想像する。 他にThrough the Years、We've Got Tonight、Islands In The Stream・・良質の作品ばかり。 男女問わず心に暖をとりたい方は是非聴かれる事をお奨めします。
