stoutfellowNote: Alphabetically, the next album is Linda Ronstadt's Canciones de Mi Padre. I'm not going to review it, as it's entirely in Spanish (with, to my ear, a definite AmE accent) and... well, I have no feelings about it whatever. So we'll move on to...
Album Title: Celebrate Me Home
Why I Bought It: I honestly don't remember; it was thirty-five years ago, after all. Maybe "Lady Luck" had caught my attention....
What I Like (Slightly Spooky): "Lady Luck", about a man whose preternatural good fortune deserts him after he falls in love....
What I Like (Advice): "If You Be Wise". If you be wise / if you be smart / don't let a travelling man take your heart. A nice psychological portrait. (One of my friends, around that time, failed to follow that advice....)
What I Like (Cheery): "Celebrate Me Home". Just what it sounds like.
Overall: It's a fairly lightweight album, but there's a good deal of pleasant stuff here. I'd mention "I Believe in Love" and "Enter My Dream" in particular. I also like his cover of "You Don't Know Me". I first heard that song as sung by Jim Nabors; Nabors' version is technically superior, purer of tone, but - compared to Loggins' passionate version - it's kind of soulless.
