Kenny Rogers - Greatest Hits

I never really was a big fan of Kenny Rogers, considering it to be more easy listening than Country music. I just didn't care for the style, my preference at the time was either what we now call Classic Country or Honky-Tonk, depending on my level of drunkenness at the moment. 
That being said, he did have a few songs that I liked, mostly because that's what the radio stations were playing and I just got used to hearing them. Thank God that didn't apply to other singers like Linda Rhonstadt or Glenn Campbell. I'd have just shot myself in the head if it did.

    In a little town in Virginia I was surprised to find about every black man loved country. This was the seventies and I was in my mid-twenties. One once told me when they were kids that's all there was on the radio back in the fifties.

    I'm a weirdo in the UK, I like classic country music - from Hank Williams to Willie Nelson and many in between but everyone's allowed one classic - Kenny Rogers' The Gambler, Glen Campbell's I Ain't Gonna Miss You.

      That was "Kenny Rogers & the First Edition" back before Kenny went Country. It was supposed to be "psychedelic".

    I saw Kenny Rogers here in small town Michigan, a long time ago. He embarrassed a guy from the audience, throughout the whole show, being the guy whose wife dragged him to the concert. I thought it was tacky, and meanspirited and not the kind of thing that should have been done to the guy.
    My wife also dragged me to that concert, and if I were that guy, I would have told him to shove it and left. But then, while I have a very long fuse, I still have a fuse.

    Kenny Rogers has this rasp in his voice that sounds like Bill Clinton's.
    Needless to say, it's extremely off-putting.

    Don't believe me?
    Listen to the "I did not have sexual relations" speech
