Title: Why Forget Messina?
Review: A flattering cover photo on a pricey double-disc set that includes nothing over previous "Best Of" releases from Kenny Loggins. How many times MUST he re-package "the hits"? And one can't help but wonder: why are tracks like Vahevala and Angry Eyes, taken from the first and second Loggins and Messina records, played off here as strictly Loggins' material? Just because he was the principle writer on those tracks? Jim Messina wrote and produced some of the best moments that duo ever recorded, yet the only face on this compilation is that of Loggins. Smacks of smug profiteering. I'd much rather listen to a re-mastered retrospective of L&M than ever again hear a note of Don't Fight It.
