So Fine / Native Sons

This duo and their fantastic band had huge success in the 70s before going their own way, Loggins on to Footloose etc and Messina to painting and solo work. They reunited for a tour a couple of years back and there is a live CD and DVD available.Towards the end of their union they produced these two albums. Native Son is the last proper studio album and So Fine is an album of classic covers. Native Sons has a good selection of original material beautifully performed but without some of the vitality of the earlier albums. So Fine is less successful but still very enjoyable.As an example of the fabulous production values of Messina and the songwriting & performance of both of them this stands its corner and is well worth a purchase. The original CD releases of these albums were dreadful sonically but BGO has done a great job of re-mastering from the original tapes.The best overall Loggins & Messina release is "On Stage" which is a showcase of great musicianship and songwriting, the band at its best. If you're dipping your toe in go for that one but this double is still well worth a listen as are the other two BGO releases.

Purchased this for a friend at work at his request and believe he is very happy with this product.

Again, replacement of well worn albums. A great price/service and saves space!

I just love this album, I bought this for home use and in my car
