CD Reviews
A sin that has finally been corrected!!!

"This, Dave Loggins' second solo album (his first being "Personal Belongings" for Vanguard), is finally available in its entirety on compact disc. "Apprentice" not only showcases Dave's beautiful "Please Come To Boston", a standard by any measure, but his thoughtful "Sunset Woman" and an overlooked gem, "My Father's Fiddle". The production on this album, released in 1974, is top-notch and features some of Nashville's finest studio players for that time. Thank you, Wounded Bird Records, for correcting such a monumental oversight and getting this classic album to the public!"
A Great Folk Rock Album...

"has finally made it to CD. I don't have the CD yet, but I do have the original vinyl and cassette tape. I highly recommend this album, it's a great listen all the way through. I'm amazed how it has seemingly remained such a hidden gem. 'Someday', 'Sunset Woman', and 'Second Hand Lady' are all beautiful songs that I always enjoy hearing. Dave Loggins has also written hits for many other artists."
Back in time.

"This is an album that may be judged differently as a present day release. This work does not lend itself to country radio, or even classic singer-songwriter status. It puts you firmly in a dark, barn-wood paneled bar, perhaps cavernous, and only partially filled. The music resonates off of the walls, and tells what are probably accurate stories found in likely rural, mid-70s taverns - the real ones, with red-shaded lamps, dimly-lit rooms, serious drinkers, and disenchanted patrons transitioning uneasily from the 60s to the very different 70s. The words and music exist as a total package, and are best heard and absorbed not literally, but as a complement to all of the elements of these locales and reasons that brought people here. If one can listen to it as such, it is a gem."
To Dave "missing person"

"blah blah blah. Good for you for not liking Dave's music and thinking his lyrics suffer. In my opinion Kenny loggins writes super cheesy songs. I'll take Dave anyday! Great songwriter. He's writes and plays like it is. Like love and life is.
