But perhaps the most revealing impression he has made to date has been on his one-and-only self-titled solo offering. After the Stone Poneys, Kenny lived and worked right in the heart of LA's "Troubadour days". During this time he teamed up with Karla Bonoff, Wendy Waldman, and Andrew Gold to form the legendary band Bryndle, ultimately signed to A&M. Kenny and Andrew went on to become the backbone of Linda Ronstadt's band , and were central to the Ronstadt sound during her hit years in the '70s. In Kenny's case, he also supplied Ronstadt with material - he introduced her to the music of Karla Bonoff , and he co-wrote with Linda himself on occasion. During this time Kenny also produced Karla Bonoff's debut album and two more for CBS. Perhaps the most revealing impression he has made to date has been on his one-and-only self-titled solo offering, released in the Summer of 2002. He teamed with producer Freddie Koella, musical director for Willy Deville, for this CD. "It's pretty intimate and homey sounding and I like that after all the band oriented music I've been involved with over the years. To that end I resisted calling on the great talents of my friends in many cases just to let this CD be what it is." |
