Kenny Rogers has a new three-disc retrospective out.
"Kenny Rogers: The First 50 Years" is broke down in a very interesting way.
There's the Duets disc, the Story Songs disc (which will be my fav) and then the Love Songs disc. Kenny says, "If you kind of break down the hits I've had, I think the love songs say what every man would like to say and every woman would like to hear."
There are some never-before-released songs in the set.
On the Love Songs disc you'll find "Loving You Is a Natural Thing To Do."
On the Duets disc is a new song with Dolly Parton "Tell Me That You Love Me."
On theStory Songs disc is the previously unreleased "Goodbye."
Kenny wants us to know that he has no plans of retiring, saying, "The great thing about all of this is that it represents the first 50 years of my music career. I'm currently working on the next."
