Free Music Review: Michael's First Solo Album is a Classic!
Hit: 5 Stars
After leaving the Doobie Brothers, Michael McDonald put together some of his pre- Steely Dan work and issued them on THAT WAS THEN THE EARLY YEARS (which has sadly never made it to CD as of now) But he knew where he was going with this smooth collection of great hits. The highlights are "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near" the big hit from the album, the Kenny Loggins-penned "I Gotta Try" with Loggins himself on background vocals (he would go on do his own version later that year on his High Adventure album.
"I Can Let Go Now" is an overlooked gem perhaps someone like his wife Amy Holland could have sung. Accompianed only by Mike on piano, it has been covered by everyone from Dionne Warwick to Alison Krauss to Colin Raye. This leads into "That's Why" featuring Christopher Cross on backing vocals as well as Amy Holland and Brenda Russell. (Michael had written for all expect Cross, although he sang backup on many of his songs most notably "Ride Like the Wind".)
"Losin' End" is a song that ironically enough was on his solo debut with the Doobie BrothersTakin' It to the Streets
