Publisher's summary

You know Kenny Loggins for his megahit soundtrack themes and chart-topping collaborations. Now you can know him through the intimate stories behind his five-decade career as a legendary songwriter and pop icon.

In a remarkable career, Kenny Loggins has rocked stages worldwide, released ten platinum albums, and landed hits all over the Billboard charts. His place in music history is marked by a unique gift for collaboration combined with the vision to evolve, adapt, and persevere in an industry that loves to eat its own. Loggins served as a pivotal figure in the folk-rock movement of the early ’70s when he paired with former Buffalo Springfield member Jim Messina, recruited Stevie Nicks for the classic duet “Whenever I Call You ‘Friend,’” then pivoted to smooth rock in teaming up with Michael McDonald on their back-to-back Grammy-winning hits “What a Fool Believes” and “This Is It” (a seminal moment in the history of what would come to be known as yacht rock). In the ’80s, Loggins became the king of soundtracks with hit recordings for Caddyshack, Footloose, and Top Gun; and a bona fide global superstar singing alongside Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson on “We Are the World.”

In Still Alright, Kenny Loggins gives fans a candid and entertaining perspective on his life and career as one of the most noteworthy musicians of the 1970s and ’80s. He provides an abundance of compelling, insightful, and terrifically amusing behind-the-scenes tales. Loggins draws listeners back to the musical eras they’ve loved, as well as addressing the challenges and obstacles of his life and work—including two marriages that ended in divorce, a difficult but motivating relationship with the older brother for which “Danny’s Song” is named, struggles with his addiction to benzodiazepines, and the revelations of turning seventy and looking back at everything that has shaped his music—and coming to terms with his rock-star persona and his true self.

Loved the story and musical break down!

I had such a joy extracting each song as Kenny described them and put a song list together so I could hop back and forth between the song science and the songs. Loved it!!

Heart felt

I really enjoyed your book (feel like I know you enough now to speak directly to you 😊). It was wonderful to “watch” you grow into the man you are today. I’m happy for the blessings that have come your way in the people you’ve met and the love for/of your children. I want to buy your album Leap of Faith! Sending you love, Kenny ❤️

He’s Still Got It!

Saw Kenny in Nashville May 11, 2023. My wife and I loved the concert. From Danny’s Song to forever, we are Kenny Loggins fan!

Highly recommend!

Greatly enjoyed!!

If you are a Kenny Loggins fan, you will love this honest story of this great songwriter’s life. Fans of rock and roll history will also appreciate the ties into other great artists. This was a pleasurable listen, and I highly recommend.

One of the greatest of all time!!

I fell in love with Kenny in the summer of 1992. Our lives have incredible parallels, to the extent that I thought he had surveillance cameras in my home, in my car, and in my head! I love his music! And I love his mind!

Honesty

Kenny’s inside look of himself and the music industry. The book is very insightful and personal. K. Loggin’s narration was excellent.

Good, but not great

Overall, I enjoyed the book, although I admit I skipped a chapter or two in the middle when he started to get too full of himself. I always enjoy when the author narrates his own story, but I had one issue. I know it's the way he talks, but I found it irritating/offensive that Kenny needs to drop the F-bomb so often. I feel that it took away from the performance. Overall, though, I enjoyed learning more about Kenny's life & career.
