This is one for the time capsule. If future humanoids wish to hear what defined our more delicate natures in this, the turn of the century/millennium period, they could not possibly overlook the ubiquitous Kenny G....the sweet bird of solace bravely winging his way over two decades of hyper-stimulus and inner turmoil. All his greatest hits are here, mostly written and produced by the man himself, and featuring guest spots by fellow legends Tony Braxton and Babyface. These tunes will coddle you into the comfort zone, provided you're not immune to an occasional heartstring tug. May this master of the soprano saxophone reign supreme over his deserved domain, for he has given us the one thing our digitizing, mega-byting, voice-mailing, downsizing, over-taxing era could not provide; peace.
What the critics say...
Entertainment Weekly (12/12/97, p.90) - "...a testament to the joy of unadorned melody....Surprisingly, the weakest spots are duets with Toni Braxton...and Michael Bolton...whose histrionics reduce the G-man to a sideman." - Rating: B-
