Title: Rankin Mugged By "Living Strings"
Review: My first Kenny Rankin CD was "Because of You," a spare, jazzy CD from the early 90s that I really liked. In this late 70s CD, producer Don Costa troweled a thick layer of MUZAK on top of poor Kenny. My advice is to stay away from this CD, and "After the Roses," another Don Costa production. I like Rankin, but I think he's better when the production approach is simple and straightforward and honest, like his voice, so maybe the way to go is to stay with his later stuff and his "live" stuff.
Is the review positive or negative?
