I rather liked “Buried Treasure”. Overall, the album was too pop and had too much of a Bee Gees influence over it but I would have probably rated it at about a C.
I’d never heard any of Kenny’s 70s albums in their entirety until we started preparing for this spotlight feature. I had hits collections of his UA years. Then I bought Love Will Turn You Around, We’ve Got Tonight and Eyes That See In The Dark before losing interest. What has struck me is that while he was a great singles artist, there is not one album that I can point to as an outstanding one from start to finsih.
I agree – I’ve never really heard a Kenny Rogers album that I liked from start to finish. For me the hits collections are the way to go
Lousy review. This is one of those rare albums where every song is a good one.
I went back and listened to this album again – I think the reviewer was too kind, I’d give “Islands In The Stream” a ‘B’ and the rest of the album an ‘F-‘
