KEY TRACK - ‘THE KING OF OAK STREET’ A solemn and heart wrenching tale of a man who needed to be reminded of the love he had at home. When the perspective switches to that of his wife in the final minute and a half, it’s impossible not to tear up as Rogers sings ‘I’ve thought the whole thing over/And I think I understand/That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man’
KENNY ROGERS - 'THE GAMBLER'
While he only wrote a small portion of the album, his captivating delivery is what elevates this album as one of the best country projects of the 70s. Roger’s storytelling prowess stands out whether he’s singing in the first or third person, on tracks like ‘Making Music For Money’ and ‘San Francisco Mabel Joy’. The album’s opening title track is a country classic, one that has stood the test of time for upwards of 50 years.
