42 Ultimate Hits (CD 1) carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Kenny Rogers’s album 42 Ultimate Hits (CD 1) falls to No. 2 with 211,000, a sales slide of 63%. It’s natural for Kenny Rogers to take a stab at ‘Just Dropped In (To See What My Condition Was In)’ considering her long-professed love for Paul Oakenfold. Great Pop right here!
Ruby Don’t Take Your Love To Town motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Reuben James is just simply stunning. Something’s Burning still maintains something of a specific flourish. Tell It All Brother is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Love Lifted Me is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Lucille - another great track from the 42 Ultimate Hits (CD 1) album. Opening track Daytime Friends shows the best of Kenny Rogers. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Sweet Music Man. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Every Time Two Fools Collide, which shows, blatantly, how much Kenny Rogers has evolved as a singer. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Anyone Who Isn’t Me Tonight is pretty funky and mellow. The Gambler is the albums biggest surprise. All I Ever Need Is You is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Excellent vocals and musical performances. ‘Til I Can Make It On My Own is a striking and quite long song. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. Kenny Rogers is hitting on all cylinders in Coward Of The County. After you’ve listened to Don’t Fall In Love With A Dreamer, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Love The World Away is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Lady is worth the money.
