Kenny Loggins (1977) Lady Luck - LOST 70s GEMS

From Kenny's debut solo album, Celebrate Me Home, this features his fiery voice in full force alongside an equally ferocious mandolins strummed in a rustic fashion reminiscent of an English folk song, while there are hints of his usual jazzy soft soul in the slower parts. His mix of rootsyness from his Loggins and Messina days to his new RnB soul superstar solo career works, particularly the wacky synthesizer which fits the mood of the track mainly due to Loggins' own unpredictable vocals; you never know what influence he may chuck in next. This is the opening track and while the sweet synthesizer is a hint of the future, the furious acoustic strum and tablas can hint at the album's undoubted highlight; the flute maypole yet Moroccan flavoured roots rock of I Believe in Love (a vanilla title for a colourful melange of a song)
