At a time when the fighting in Iraq brings out more pain than patriotism in a majority of vocal Americans, Keni Thomas--a smooth-voiced Georgia musician and former Army member of Task Force Ranger, sent into the Mogadishu of Black Hawk Down--steps forward with a collection of songs that restore the poignancy and eloquence of the good fight. Never bombastic in the vein of Toby Keith nor rabble-rousing à la Darryl Worley, Thomas--who wrote or cowrote all 10 tracks with an ear for classic country and rock--simply tells the stories of the men and women in uniform. "Not Me," which boasts no less than Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris on harmony vocals, is an eloquent and understated paean to leadership and courage, while "Circle on the Cross," featuring a spoken introduction by Kenny Rogers, spotlights a military marking worth remembering. Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Michael McDonald, Blackhawk, and Shawn Mullins also lend their efforts to this surprising, affecting project. (Proceeds partly benefit the Hero Fund and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which provide college tuition to the children of Special Ops personnel who die in training or combat.) --Alanna Nash

Album Description

Flags Of Our Fathers is a collection of songs wirtten by Thomas that tell stories inspired by life in the military and those who serve our nation. Working with producers Brent Maher and Mark Selby he uses his unique insight to bring these memorable songs to life and tell a story as only someone who has experienced them can. It's a remarkable album from an equally remarkable artist.

5 out of 5 stars Moving CD with a message.......2007-05-12

I had the good fortune of listening to Keni around Memorial Day. In case you didn't know, Keni was involved in Task Force RANGER that was elegantly presented in "Black Hawk Down" Book and Movie. He is a great story teller and that's reflected in his songs....moving, poignant, and relevant. Great story teller and a great singer/performer.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome - A Great Surprise.......2007-01-08

An awesome album from start to finish. I have already purchased another copy for a friend. Extremely well written songs especially if you have even a single patriotic bone in your body.

5 out of 5 stars For any Serviceman/Servicewoman.......2006-04-15

Having been in the military and served with the Rangers plus being a musician now, anyone who has ever had to go to combat can relate to this CD.
A soldiers story combines mom's apple pie c rations and MRE's all rolled up into one. Keni's voice draws one to listen to the lyrics more so than most singers.

If you have ever been in combat anywhere, anytime...this CD will bring tears to your eyes and make your chest swell with pride. Keni T's been there and done that. And this CD is living proof of the enourmous patriotism our country holds for our Troops in harms way. It's a gut wrenching story and those who have been there........must hear it! RLTW

5 out of 5 stars Keni Thomas Review.......2006-03-24

Great CD. I saw this performer with an USO tour in Iraq and had to buy the cd. A patriotic must!

5 out of 5 stars A true tribute to those who have served........2006-01-16

This complete CD is a great tribute to all that have served and put country before self. There is not a song on this CD that you will not listen to over and over. To know what Keni Thomas has been through and hear it in his music is great. Everyone should own this, CD even if it only gets played a few times a year on the 4th of July, Veterans Day and Memorial Day. BUY BUY BUY

3 out of 5 stars +1/2 -- All too brief an introduction.......2004-04-09

Given the length and breadth of Rogers' career, it's impossible to provide even a basic introduction in only 12 tracks. This collection is a mere taste of Rogers' musical successes, drawn from across a career that spanned early hits with The First Edition, breakout solo signatures like "Lucille" and "The Gambler," and latter-day successes such as the early 90s chart-topper, "Crazy in Love." Hip-O, a division of Universal Music, has pulled together tracks recorded originally for MCA, Capitol Nashville, and Reprise, representing a broad sweep of Rogers' work.

Oddly, the album presents the tracks in reverse chronological order, starting with "Crazy in Love," progressing through Rogers' solo hits, and finishing with the early chart successes of The First Edition. What's here is great - especially less radio-familiar tunes like "Tell it All Brother" and "Ruben James." The neo-psychedelia of "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" is a real kick, mixing the druggy production sounds of late-60s San Francisco with the chipper singing of The New Christy Minstrels.

Those who like this dozen tracks will quickly want to find songs like "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer," "Coward of the County," "Islands in the Stream" and many more. As a budget priced entry, this is a quick and inexpensive way to pick up some of Rogers' greatest hits, but it's bound to leave you wanting more.

3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

            5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Collection!!!!.......2006-03-30

            This is a great collection with most of his songs from the early Captiol/Liberty period. To compile a comprehensive library , you can get this set along with the 1998 U.S. box "through the years- a retrospective" and also "42 ultimate hits".

            "Through the years retro" gives you all of his big hit songs from both capitol and rca and reprise all the way up to 1998.
            "42 ultimate hits" give you his 1999 hits "Buy me a rose" and "The greatest"

            5 out of 5 stars Kenny Rogers Collection {IMPORT}.......2000-06-14

            It has just about everything that he's recorded. I have been looking for some of these songs for years. I had lost a cassette during a move and hadn't been able to replace it until now. This is fantastic!

              5 out of 5 stars With the First Edition.......2005-03-30

              Kenny Rogers had been in the music business since the mid-fifties but his first taste of success came in the late sixties. After a spell in the New Christy Minstrels, he and three other members left to form the Fist Edition, with Kenny as the lead singer. They made several notable recordings in the late sixties and early seventies, the best of which are featured here.

              Kenny's biggest hit during this period, Ruby don't take your love to town, rightly opens this collection. Originally written and recorded by Mel Tillis, this song had already been covered by several other singers including Roger Miller. Written about a Korean War veteran, the crazy Asian war referred to in the lyrics could equally be interpreted as Vietnam. With that war raging at the time, Kenny and the First Edition had an American top ten hit with it. Perhaps more surprising (since Britain did not join in the Vietnam War), the song spent several weeks at number two in the UK charts, only prevented from being number one by Two little boys (Rolf Harris), another song about war.

              Kenny and the group had another UK top ten hit with Something's burning (which just missed the American top ten) but none of their other records charted in Britain. In America, they had several other hits including Just dropped in (their very first hit), But you know I love you (later covered by Dolly Parton, who took it to the top of the country charts in the early eighties), Reuben James, Heed the call and Tell it all brother.

              This compilation includes all those hits and other notable recordings including Elvira, a song that eventually became a huge American hit for the Oak Ridge Boys over a decade later. After the First Edition faded into obscurity and disbanded, Kenny's career seemed to be over but he re-remerged as a solo singer and became more successful than ever before. Those recordings are beyond the scope of this collection.

              There are many compilations of Kenny's music with the First Edition, but this contains all the essentials.
