Description
Before his solo superstardom, Kenny Rogers fronted The First Edition, a versatile group who blurred the lines between country, rock, and psychedelia with remarkable results. This greatest hits CD brings together ten of their most enduring recordings, including the Vietnam-era narrative masterpiece ‘Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town’, the trippy classic ‘Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In)’, and the soulful ‘Reuben James’. A cover of Kris Kristofferson’s ‘Me And Bobby McGee’ further underlines the group’s range and taste. This is an essential collection for anyone tracing the roots of Kenny Rogers’ extraordinary career or exploring the countercultural country-rock sounds of the era…
