Such renowned Nashville tunesmiths as Don Schlitz, Mike Reid, and Casey Beathard contribute songs to this set, giving Kenny the chance to turn on his smoky romantic charm (“Look at You”), salute the everyday virtues of his native land (“’Merica”), and paint a Spanish-tinged portrait of an immigrant’s experience (“Dreams of the San Joaquin"). At 75, Rogers remains a masterful singer and an astute judge of material. You Can’t Make Old Friends is an impressive return to form by this much-loved veteran, offering tunes to please fans of his trademark balladry while venturing into some fresh terrain. The rough-edged caress of Kenny Rogers’ voice has earned him legions of fans for nearly half a century.
