AMG Review of Love Songs

All Music Guide

MCA Special Products' Love Songs collects ten romantic tunes Kenny Rogers & the First Edition recorded in their short time together. It's hardly a definitive collection or a greatest-hits, and some of the tunes are marginally "love songs," but it's an enjoyable sampler thanks to such highlights as "For the Good Times," "Sunshine," "Are My Thoughts With You," "Last Few Threads of Love" and "She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye." Those songs make the compilation worth its budget price, at least for casual listeners.
