Movie Reviews of Kenny Rogers - The Journey
Movie Review: Fantastic DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a tribute to a tremendous entertainer. I've followed Kenny Rogers for most of my life and think he's been under rated. The songs he's written are straight from the heart and can touch your soul. This DVD follows Kenny's career right up to modern day times. It's fun to go back through time when we were "growing up" to our times when we've "mellowed out"...well, some of us anyway.
We've gotten so stressed out in this day and age, it's great to sit back and relax with some wholesome entertainment and music that makes you want to grab the person next to you and dance.
I highly recommend it...Enjoy!
Summary of Kenny Rogers - The Journey
Set sail on a spellbinding Journey with three-time Grammy(r) Award-Winner, Kenny Rogers. > For nearly five decades, legendary country music artist Kenny Rogers has entertained audiences all over the world with his charm and wit, instantly recognizable voice and chart-topping hits. The Journey is a live concert experience woven throughout with an intimate portrait of Rogers' life story told through his art, exclusive interviews with friends, and his music. With a 40-year career celebrated by 63 albums, three Grammy(r) Awards, eight Academy of Country Music Awards, 18 American Music Awards and 11 People's Choice Awards, no wonder Rogers was voted "Favorite Singer of All Time" by PM Magazine/USA Today readers.The Journey contains:
- Kenny's Classic Hits, Plus Five New Songs From His 2006 International Tour
- Rare Music Video "Tell It All Brother" from His Early Career
- Behind-the-Scenes Studio Rehearsal with Dolly Parton
- Kenny Rogers' Photography Gallery
- The Ones That Got Away - Extended Interviews with David Foster and Lionel Richie
Kenny Rogers: The Journey is a solid and engaging account of Rogers' lengthy career in music, certain to teach any viewer something they didn't know about the many chapters in the superstar's life as an artist. A documentary, The Journey is a mix of concert footage (most of it archival) and interviews with Rogers, as well as numerous insights from key people in his history of making hit records. The overall message is that Rogers has been a class act from the very beginning, certain of his work ethic as well as his talent and ability to choose the right collaborators. High points include Rogers' reunion with the Bobby Doyle Three, the jazz-vocal group he joined right out of high school, and a smooth duet with Willie Nelson on Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies" (a performance in which Rogers resurrects his old skills playing upright bass). There's a lot of discussion about Rogers' instincts for finding great duet partners of the female variety: Dottie West, Kim Carnes, Dolly Parton, and even Sheena Easton (who, apparently, didn't get along with Rogers too well). Various insights about the early stages of Rogers' musical evolution are very interesting, especially his comments about the pop-folk group the New Christy Minstrels proving too restricting, giving rise to Rogers' soft-rock band the First Edition, followed by a solo career he feared would become "too country" with his smash hit, "Lucille." Also a lot of fun: Lionel Richie's self-effacing account of producing Rogers' successful attempt at a country-R&B crossover, "Lady." --Tom Keogh
