Title: Hits All the Highlights
Review: This is a near-perfect two-and-a-half hour collection of one of the pop world's great singer-songwriters. You get seven tracks from his Seventies partnership with Jim Messina. [The only quarrel here is the exclusion of "Thinking of You" and the inclusion of the 2:26 single version of "Angry Eyes," instead of the 7:40 album version.] From there you get all fourteen of Loggin's Top 40 solo hits, sampling all ten of his solo albums (excluding his holiday album)along the way. While there is nothing from his 1980 live album, you do get a terrific live version of "What a Fool Believes" with it co-writer Michael McDonald from the 1993 live album OUTSIDE: FROM THE REDWOODS. Loggins had some of the biggest hits of his career in the Eighties, especially with soundtrack songs like "I'm Alright," "Footloose" and "Danger Zone." If you're looking for a solid overview of a stellar career, this is it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
