Kenny Rogers: The Journey is a solid and engaging account of Rogers' lengthy career in music, certain to teach any viewer something they didn't know about the many chapters in the superstar's life as an artist. A documentary, The Journey is a mix of concert footage (most of it archival) and interviews with Rogers, as well as numerous insights from key people in his history of making hit records. The overall message is that Rogers has been a class act from the very beginning, certain of his work ethic as well as his talent and ability to choose the right collaborators. High points include Rogers' reunion with the Bobby Doyle Three, the jazz-vocal group he joined right out of high school, and a smooth duet with Willie Nelson on Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies" (a performance in which Rogers resurrects his old skills playing upright bass). There's a lot of discussion about Rogers' instincts for finding great duet partners of the female variety: Dottie West, Kim Carnes, Dolly Parton, and even Sheena Easton (who, apparently, didn't get along with Rogers too well). Various insights about the early stages of Rogers' musical evolution are very interesting, especially his comments about the pop-folk group the New Christy Minstrels proving too restricting, giving rise to Rogers' soft-rock band the First Edition, followed by a solo career he feared would become "too country" with his smash hit, "Lucille." Also a lot of fun: Lionel Richie's self-effacing account of producing Rogers' successful attempt at a country-R&B crossover, "Lady." --Tom Keogh

 Good Dvd for fans May 17, 2008
Great dvd, and gives you a good insite into the career of the man himself, as well as some great songs.
Great entertainment! September 5, 2007
The music was great and we will watch it again. I think the narrative was a little misplaced in spots, but it was good to get to know Kenny Rogers.
 Great choice of songs:O) August 31, 2007

Kenny Rogers is Awesome July 29, 2007
The Kenny Rogers - The Journey DVD is fabulous....brings you right through to present times in his music & life. An investment well made.
One of the best Music Documentaries . July 8, 2007
This is the only music documentry I have ever seen where the artist sings the full song. The Jouurney has all those songs you would want Kenny to sing, plus the best from Water and Bridges. Excellent interviews with industry people and nice to put a face to those names.
If you like Kenny Rogers this is a must for your collection.
