Kenny Loggins' Bio: All Join In is Kenny Loggins’ first album of up-tempo music for the whole family -- and an altogether exciting new addition to a body of work that already includes two groundbreaking and genre-defining albums of lullabies for children, 1994’s Return to Pooh Corner and 2000’s More Songs from Pooh Corner. Working with his co-producer Jesse Siebenberg and a talented group of musical collaborators that includes all of his five children, this two-time Grammy-winner has lovingly crafted an extremely entertaining and uplifting song cycle specifically created to please both parents and children.

At the same time, All Join In also represents the latest musical statement in one of the most enduring careers in popular music -- or what sometimes seems more like a whole series of varied careers all have been lived by this singular recording artist. “I’ve always been a bit of a moving target,” Loggins says with a laugh. Yet as he puts it, “Even in a life that’s been so full of music, All Join In feels unique and meaningful to me, both as a musician and -- perhaps even more so -- as a parent myself.”

Kenny Loggins was far ahead of the curve when it came to recording music for children. “When I made my first record for kids, a lot of people around me were worried,” Loggins recalls. “They thought that people wouldn’t care -- or that I’d instantly lose all my rock & roll credibility. But I felt making music for kids and their parents could mean so much. Then Return To Pooh Corner became a hit -- a perennial gift that people gave to new parents as a sort of welcome to the family, and it became something very special.”

For Loggins, All Join In takes another giant step forward. “In its own way, All Join In feels as groundbreaking as an up-tempo album for the family as Return To Pooh Corner was as a lullaby album,” he says. “I think that you’d be hard-pressed to find another children’s record with this kind of vibe. Many of the songs will be familiar, but the feeling is fresh and the mood is bright. I feel like this music can really connect with a lot of people of different ages.”

During nearly four decades as a professional singer-songwriter, Kenny Loggins has established himself as many things to countless music lovers. For instance for first half of the Seventies, Loggins was, along with Jim Messina, part of the popular, influential and somewhat accidental duo Loggins & Messina that formed in the wake of the classic 1971 album Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin’ In, originally meant to be Loggins’ debut solo album.

When Loggins & Messina ended their musical partnership in 1976, Loggins pressed on to explore his own musical path as an introspective solo artist, beginning with such artistically and commercially successful releases as 1977’s Celebrate Me Home, with its popular title track, and 1978’s Nightwatch, which featured Loggins smash duet with Stevie Nicks, “Whenever I Call You Friend.” Loggins has since recorded a remarkable and eclectic series of albums, including such popular highlights as 1979’s Keep The Fire (“This Is It”), 1982’s High Adventure (“Don’t Fight It,” “Heart To Heart,” 1991’s deeply personal and acclaimed Leap Of Faith (featuring “Conviction Of The Heart,” which Al Gore has called “the unofficial anthem of the environmental movement”), 1993’s exquisite live retrospective Outside: From the Redwoods and 2003’s It’s About Time.

During this same period, Loggins grew even more well-known for recording a series of soundtrack pop smashes including such Top Ten hits as “I’m Alright” from Caddyshack, “Footloose” from Footloose, “Danger Zone” from Top Gun and “Nobody’s Fool from Caddyshack II, as well as for participating in USA For Africa’s historic benefit recording “We Are The World, and co-writing the Grammy-winning Song of the Year “What A Fool Believes.” … Read more
