Description

Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina were the most successful pop/rock duo of the first half of the ’70s. They released a series of gold or platinum albums most of which hit the Top Ten. They were all played in a buoyant country-rock style with an accomplished band. The first full-fledged “Loggins & Messina” album (1972) found the duo in good form as songwriters with Messina turning in the sparkling “Thinking Of You” and the two collaborating on the hit single “Your Mama Don’t Dance” and “Angry Eyes”. Their band was anchored by multi-instrumentalist Al Garth and also featured Poco steel guitarist Rusty Young on “Long Tail Cat”.
