Kenny Rankin - Silver Morning

'Silver Morning' ranks as one of the best and most representative albums of the mid-70s. Rankin does a fine job covering Gordon Lightfoot (Pussywillows, Cat Tails), but he really shines on his reworkings of the Beatles' songbook. Blackbird, Penny Lane, show him to be one of the best interpreters of the Beatles' music. Moreover, in lending the songs his distinctive sound, they transcend being mere cover versions. This is easily one of his best albums.
