Kenny Loggins
Columbia/Legacy's 2001 release The Essential Kenny Loggins lives up to its billing, and not just because it has all of Loggins' solo hits. No, this collection earns its title because it contains no less than seven Kenny-fronted Loggins & Messina tracks, along with all his big solo hits, plus a sharp selection of album tracks and latter-day ...

by
Ambrosia
For various legal reasons, no Ambrosia recordings were released on compact disc in America until 1997's Anthology, and while it's an imperfect collection, it does offer a reasonably thorough overview of the group's career. It only briefly touches on their early art rock records, choosing to concentrate instead on their early-'80s soft rock hits ...

Poison
It's hard to believe that through all of the debauchery, inner turmoil, and excess, Poison is still a fully functioning rock entity with all of its original members intact. It's also surprising that when looking back over that time, the group has managed to accumulate an impressive plethora of hits, especially during the peak of their career. This ...

J.J. Cale's The Definitive Collection is an excellent single-disc collection from one of the most influential singer/songwriters to emerge from America during the '70s. Just as Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark define Texas songwriting, Cale is the epitome of the Oklahoma writers. Although most people know him as the writer of Eric Clapton's hit ...

Loggins & Messina
Having assembled a strong backup band, L&M were at their best in concert, and this two-LP set catches all of their diverse talents, from the tight, intricate rockers devised by Messina, to the sensitive ballad skills of Loggins and the band's ability to stretch out on the sidelong "Vahevala." [The 1998 CD reissue restored "Vahevala" to its full, ...

Phoebe Snow should have, could have, had hits with her covers of Paul McCartney's "Every Night" and the Roches' "The Married Men," but by her fourth Columbia album and fifth release overall, the company seems to have been content to let her records find their audience without pushing them. (Actually, "Every Night" did hit number 79 in the U.K.) ...

Diamond Rio
One of the most successful debut albums in country music, Diamond Rio sparked plenty of hits -- "Meet in the Middle," "Mama Don't Forget to Pray for Me," "Nowhere Bound," "Norma Jean Riley" -- by combining bluegrass harmonies, old-fashioned country virtues, and just enough rock to keep things moving.

Although country stars generally do not write their own songs, the songs they choose from the Nashville publishing houses reveal something about the musical personas they are trying to project, even if all they say is, "I want to have a hit."

Lenny Welch
A compilation of Lenny's early Cadence Records recordings with a slightly different track listing than his similarly titled 1963 album. Classified as easy listening, Welch's controlled but unbridled and passionate singing had an emotional edge not normally associated with the genre. A heart-drilling rendition of "Since I Fell for You" is an ...

While nowhere near as thorough as 1997's Anthology or 2004's reissue of that particular collection, this 2003 survey (much like its sibling discs) skips over the early years of Ambrosia and jumps right to the point in their career for which people remember them best: their gentle, pop-friendly ballads. However, unlike the 2004 Anthology this ...

EMI has trimmed the fat from Poison's Swallow This Live, 13 years after its initial release. Down from a two-disc set to one disc of highlights, gone are the pompous five- and ten-minute guitar and drum solos, and the listener is left with just the hits from their first three releases. While the sound quality is still somewhat lacking (a ...
