CD/DVD Preview: Loggins and Messina

"Live: Sittin in Again at the Santa Barbara Bowl"

By Dave White, About.com

It has taken Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina almost 30 years to produce this package. That's how long it had been since the two had toured prior to the summer of 2005.

To refresh your memory, Jim Messina became an original member of Poco after a stint with Buffalo Springfield. He was a producer for Columbia Records when he met songwriter Kenny Loggins, and the two began work on what was originally to have been Loggins' first solo album. As they worked on the album, Messina provided guitar and backup vocals. Ultimately, the album came out as Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin' In. Their career as a duo would produce five studio albums and a run of hit singles.

Fast forward to 2005, and a string of sold out performances, captured on CD and DVD as Live: Sittin' in Again at the Santa Barbara Bowl.

RELEASE DATE: November 15, 2005

CD: 70+ minutes of the singing-songwriting team's trademark laid-back 70s sound. Performances include nearly every song from the original Sittin' In debut album in 1972.

DVD: The entire Santa Barbara concert, featuring more than two hours of music and a bonus 1973 performance on the ABC television show, "Midnight Special."
