What is not to love about Kenny? This guy has been around for a million years, and just keeps on going and going. We loved the Top Gun theme music, we tapped our feet to Footloose; this guy is a keeper! Kenny Loggins has entertained us with his ever evolving style for quite a few years. He may not be as hip as Alan Jackson or Toby Keith, but he has the ability to captivate the listener.

How About Now is an interesting compilation of works. It showcases the wide range of Kenny Loggins' abilities. My co-reviewer (AKA my wife Jan) preferred the slow and tearful songs, while I preferred the more up-beat and rock and roll tunes. It is always difficult to produce an album that appeals to everyone. Certainly Jan and I did not agree: I listen to enjoy the music, Jan listens to cry along with the lyrics!

I thought "That’s When I Find You" was an outstanding track. The band is tight, the backing vocals are almost reminiscent of classic Motown. This is a song that just drags you into the moment.

"Too Much (I Never Get Enough)" is another great track, it reminded me of Footloose; it has the same rhythm and urgency in the delivery. If you can keep your feet still while listening to this, you have better skills than I have.

Of course it would not be fair to exclude Jan in this review, her favorite tracks included:

"A Love Song" this is the classic country song that has been ‘spruced up’ with some fine backing musicians. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the perfect tune to play when you invite that hot date in ‘for one last drink’.

"One Last Goodbye Song" is a soulful tune, it is well written, and the execution is amazingly well done. We get to see the range of Kenny Loggins’ voice. One moment he is the raspy country singer, the next a well seasoned performer.

This may not be ground breaking music, but I certainly liked it. Usually there are only one or two tracks on a CD that appeal to the listener, however almost everyone can find something that they like on this CD. The Kenny Loggins web site features "How About Now" and all of the tracks are available online. This is a great idea; you can try before you buy!
