Q ROOKIES
By Casey McCabe
Long considered half of one of the
country's most popular duos, Kenny
Loggins walks off stage amidst a standing '
ovation, and it's obvious there'll be no
more identity crisis.
Loggins is embarking on a solo career
after last year's breakup of Loggins and
Messina, a team that produced many gold r
records and gained national prominence
between 1972-1976. He currently has a
hit album, and is touring with Fleetwood.
Mac.
"Loggins and Messina was no more of
a starting point in my career than this
(performing solo) , is now " says the soft
spoken Loggins. "At this point in the busi
ness, they are all starting points. This is
the beginning of another aspect of my
career and everything else is retrospect."
Reaction to the highly popular duo's
split was dismay by both fans and record
. executives. But Loggins received positive
reaction from people close 'to him. When
the time came to perform on stage without
ex-partner Jim Messina, he was pleasantly
surprised to see that the audience accepted
him as a solo artist.
The catalyst in his return to the musical
spotlight was his first solo LP, Celebrate
Me Home. It went gold the day of his .
Sept. 14 Lincoln appearance, four months
' after it had hit the stores.
Favorite album
"Mother ' Lode was my favorite L & M
album. It came the closest to what I
wanted as far as musical expression,"
explains Loggmsc "1 feel Celebrate Ms
Home is an extension of that, and it has
helped me pick up a following."
The album in general presents the
mellower side of Loggins, with two notable .
exceptions. "Lucky Lady" is the hard
driving focal point of the album, in the .
tradition of "Angry Eyes." "I Believe in
Love" is an easy going pick-me-up song
with inspired lyrics.
"When you're solo, it literally means
you're alone the difference is you are in .
control of your own life " says Loggins.
"No more discussions, no more meetings,
you think about it and you do it. My
experience with Jimmy Messina was very
good for me. It was a good period for me
to learn."
The 29-year-old .Loggins started his
career as a writer, playing in various bands
in Pasadena around the time of the
Association and Kalidescope. Messina
already was an established musician, play
ing with Buffalo Springfield and Poco.
After he left Poco he met Loggins. Messina
was doing production work for CBS
records and Loggins was in the market for .
a producer when the two went on to do
seven alburns together.
4 Creative differences
Loggins admits he's glad he's out of the
team and that he does not miss performing
with Messina. He notes the split was due
not to personality clash as much as creative
differences. "We felt it was time to
discover new places to go." The two still
retain their friendship.
Loggins has found another colaborator
for his musical interests: his wife Eva.
Married on the last day of 1976a she co
wrote with him some of the selections on
Celebrate Me Home.
"I convinced her to help me on my
compositions , because I had read a few
pages of her diary and realized she was
a very good writer," Loggins said. "She had
an easy going style that was talented and
poetic. I convinced her to help me."
On stage, Loggins puts rock into his act,
and the audience responds by hand clap-
ping, cheering and singing along. Screams
-of recognition come when he launches
into a medley of old Loggins and Messina
tunes as his voice flows true and steady
through "House at Pooh Corner", "I Want,
to Sing You a Love. Song", and "Danny's
Song." -
Builds rapport .
In the long version of "Angry Eyes,"
Loggins shows he is capable, of working
up some hard guitar licks. Adept at build
ing a rapport with the audience, he often
plays encores.
"The Fleetwood Mac tour is the best of
the year," views Loggins. "There is no
other act we could tour, with and get this
kind of exposure. It feels good. We reach
between 15,000 and 75,000 people aday."
. Loggins is touring with an incredibly
tight band of his own, especially consider
ing the group practiced as it adutioned new
people and rehearsed for only three and a
half to four months before tour. The band
includes members of the old Loggins and
Messina band, including John Clarke, who
plays flute, oboe, english. horn, recorder, ,
and saxaphone. Loggins views , them as
excellent musicians.
He is dedicated to achieving the right
sound in, concert. He went so far as to
purchase an Oberhiem Four Voice, one of
the most sophisticated synthesizers. The
synthesizer was used often in the studio for
Celebrate Me Home and Loggins wanted to
duplicate the sound in concert. '
Dave Mason tour
Presently in the last few days of their
stint with Fleetwood Mac, Loggins and the
band will be traveling east to do some
headlining with Dave Mason.
"In general . we've been eclipsed in
billing by Fleetwood Mac because they're
the biggest act in the country right now. I
have to work to get the peopte, to notice
me. But by the end of the show, I feel
they've noticed me and my act."
Who was .that other guy anyway?
