Product Description Newly Remastered! At the height of the singer/songwriter period, Rankin quietly became one of the key voices of the genre. Silver Morning ranks as one of the best and most representative albums of that time. Once again, Rankin does a fine job covering Gordon Lightfoot (Pussywillows, Cat Tails) but he really shines on his reworkings of the Beatles' songbook. His vocal and guitar arrangements on Lennon and McCartney's Blackbird; and particularly on Penny Lane show him to be one of the best interpreters of the Beatles' music. Moreover, in lending the songs his distinctive sound, they transcend being mere cover versions. The title cut illustrates his continued ability not only to play wonderful guitar and sing like an angel, but also to write great songs. This is easily one of his best albums.

CD ReviewsBuy me! Napa reader | Napa, CA | 06/15/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Kenny had a voice beyond compare. I was hooked from the first time I saw him in SF in 1973. I've seen him over a dozen times....and one time that sticks out was an intimate show at Wolfgangs in SF. Kenny was perturbed at one person in the audience (Kenny had a short fuse) - so he walked off - someone blurted out "you can't walk out the backstairs of our lives" - he came back and played that very song off this CD. I'd met Kenny a few times over the years and once I handed him a copy of FAMILY on LP - he laughed and said those 2 wonderful girls on the cover are in college now - he signed it and handed it back to me. I was to see him in SF 2 weeks ago -- I was completely stunned to hear of his passing. Buy this first, then the Don Costa produced CD with "House of Gold", then the live Bottomline CD. " Worth the wait. Tim A. Boman | 05/14/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Although I had kept my Vinyl copy in pristine condition for many many years, I kept waiting for Silver morning to come out on CD for portable reasons...worth the wait...one of the most under rated pieces of music ever. Timeless and his interpretations of songs like Blackbird hold up today as they did 30+ years ago. NEVER EVER tire of this album! PS Every lady I have ever played this for love the romantic "feel" of this music. RIP Kenny. Tim Boman Salt lake City 2010" A masterwork spotchboy | Fairport, NY | 04/26/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "What a voice. Silver Morning is one of the very few first-rate folk/jazz albums. (Perhaps a couple Joni Mitchell albums qualify.) The instrumentation and arrangements are pop and folk, but the vocal sensibility is jazz. Not a bad song in the bunch, and some are exquisite gems. The cast of superb session musicians make terrific contributions. This is Kenny's best album by far. I could listen to this album for hours on end. What a shame he's gone."
