This debut album from singer/songwriter Crosby Loggins delivers a genre defying experience that few will forget. The eldest son of the Grammy Award winning artist Kenny Loggins, the younger Loggins was exposed early on to several accomplished musicians including Graham Nash, Jackson Browne and Michael McDonald, and has used his experiences to hone his own unique sound.
Using a mix between rock, folk, pop, blues and country, Loggins has designed a style that is all his own and offers something for everyone with the album, "We All Go Home."
Tracks like "Good Enough" and "Wanna Be You" offer a mainstream acoustic-rock sound with hints of a possible John Mayer influence that could thrive on MTV, but others like the title track "We All Go Home" and the hard-hitting "March On, America" show Loggins' blues/rock influenced roots. He surrounds himself with a group of talented musicians who call themselves "The Light" and offer a rich background to Loggins smooth vocal lines and acoustic guitar styling.
Loggins is the first new artist on the J&R Adventures label founded by blues-rock guitar virtuoso Joe Bonamassa, and personifies the label's vision of creating a group of musicians who embody the spirit of the early Motown sound. This summer Loggins toured Bonamassa, and proved that he had what it takes to open for the great performer. Though his summer tour of the west coast is nearing an end, the California local will likely return to the San Francisco Bay area in 2008.
"We All Go Home" by Crosby Loggins and the Light provides an excellent array of styles that will satisfy almost any musical palette, and is a strong first step for the J&R Adventures record label.
The album, "We All Go Home" is available in most popular record stores and retail centers.
