   Dave Loggins is a complicated artist. He reinvents himself. I have known him for many years. He was married to Cheryl and she was very young. ‘The Girl From Knoxville’ . He came here from Scotland at age 4. He attended school in Tennessee and went to college, majoring in the Arts. He has some health issues, but moved to Laurel Maryland under another name. He likes his privacy so he is free to write songs and loves playing music and singing. Thank you for your interest.

   Most if not all great songs we all remember back in the album days are something you have to pay to hear or blow the dust off the record player and hear for free I’m hearing songs in my head that I remember where I was and when you don’t get that from todays music it’s just not there take this song back the 70s it was played all the time 80s too but not today but ocationally you might hear and then you remember but it’s good to hear it just the same and I’m from the Boston area

   Apprentice(in a musical workshop) is an amazing album. I personally believe every song on that album could have been released as a single and would have done well

   Dave Loggins is not a one hit wonder. He also had a number one hit record with Anne Murray in 1984 entitled “Nobody Loves Me Like You Do”. This recording won Anne Murray and Dave Loggins the CMA Vocal Duo Of The Year Award for 1985.

    James Edward Peter Reesor: ‘She just said “No, boy, won’t you come home to me?” ‘and ‘ “I’m the number one fan of the man from Tennessee” ‘ pretty strongly suggest that the drifter in ‘Please Come To Boston’ is the man from Tennessee. You seem a tad self-important to wonder if Dave had ever heard of your incident and inserted a hopelessly obscure reference to it into this song. ; ]

    Further, why would ‘she’ even remotely hint at Tennessee Ernie Ford in her replies to a man who can’t settle where she is but will repeatedly ask for her to join him as he wanders? That would reduce the sentiment of this emotionally taut song to the level of unrelated small talk, making her seem like a mentally impaired person with an attention deficit disorder. They aren’t discussing a Tennessee Ernie Ford fan club. ; ]

    I’m sorry to appear nasty, but the more I consider it, the sillier your question becomes. It’s so far out and non-sequitur, really, that it even makes my reply here look disjointed and ill-conceived. Ha!

    Whether ‘Please Come To Boston’ is at all autobiographical or entirely fictitious, the rhetorical question is glaring: why would Dave Loggins have seen either Tennessee Ernie Ford or the aftermath of your unfortunate circumstance as inspiration for the writing of an artfully crafted song about a wayfarer’s restless heart and the toll it takes on two people who are clearly connected yet perpetually apart? Just sayin’. ; ]

    It was my privilege to be a candidate for governor in Tennessee (1973-1974) after living in Nashville since 31 July 1962. Interestingly, David Loggins was born in Mountain City near Bristol where I officially started my campaign. Notoriety after being robbed in Memphis resulted in people calling me “the man from Tennessee” because they couldn’t remember my name. Every time people hear Dave’s song, memories of that time in my life roll through my mind. Maybe someone should ask Dave why he used that “famous name” in a song? Did he ever hear about me… or Tennessee Ernie Ford?

    My good friend, Elmer Midget, introduced me to Dave Loggins in 1977. I’ve had his songs on my sound system until my son ruined my recording. But I still hear his songs, especially “Moving to the Country” and “Ain’t Nothin’ Like Loving Somebody on a Rainy Night”. I can remember the lyrics to my song favorite, not the title, about the girl who could sew, made her own clothes. . .If Dave Loggins cold get himself and his songs on a PBS music show, his music would spread like golden ripples into the hearts of many more

    As a first cousin to Kenny Loggins, Dave caught my attention when his wonderful “Come to Boston” song. Dave is NOT a “second cousin” to Ken as sometimes stated. Kenny and my dad’s have a third brother, Tom (Butte Montana) and none of these Loggins brothers had a son or grandson named”Dave” nor to this date more recent generations. I am the family geneologist, and we 1st cousins and children have reuntions every 5 years, most recently Seattle 2015…next Los Angeles 2020…but of the Kenny’s 4 first cousins (my 3 boys and Butte’s uncle Tom’s one son), none of us had a “Dave”…which would have been a second cousin. But the it makes for good promotion for Dave’s promoters to call him a relative of Kenny Loggins…though not accurate.

    Dave played at a Rhythm & Roots a few years ago, and his son was there a year or two later. I saw him live a few times and he was always very good. He wrote many songs for many artists; definitely a hall of famer. When he came to R&R he was living in Nashville.

    i also wish Dave would perform live. i would travel where ever it is to see him. i was captivated when i first heard Please Come to Boston and bought every album after that. By the way, the theme song for the Masters golf tournament was written by Dave. and there is a great one hour interview of Dave on itunes.

    Worth every penny! I am playing it over & over again and wonder why Dave never made it bigger in the music business. What a talented musician!

    My all time favorite artist. I listen to all of his albums every month. I love all of his songs and I have since I was a college student at Auburn. I now reside in Johnson City, Tn. just a few miles from Mountain City, Tn., his home town.
    I just opened a Spotify account and he was the first artist I downloaded ALL of his albums. What a great talent!

    A concert at the Ryman Auditorium or downtown Franklin TN restored theater would be perfect venues to feature David Loggins talent and appreciation we have for his gifts as a singer and author of numerous hits we all enjoy! The evening event of David and Friends with other singer/songwriter guests would make for a sell-out show.

    I discovered Dave when his vanguard album was releases. It had a great song called Sister Mary Ryan on it that was haunting, but my favorite of his cd’s is One Way Ticket….and that song is my favorite. I also loved his duet with Anne Murray.

    An album jacket note on “Apprentice in a Musical Workshop” thanks the band for ONE TAKE on “Sunset Woman.” That song is so beautiful, imagine the feeling going on among the musicians as it came out so beautifully and continued to the end without a note or a line that any of them felt could be improved upon.

    Dave Loggins, Country Suite, is one of the most beautiful collections of songs I have ever heard. I found the CD (or my sister did) a few years ago, so I have been able to enjoy it all over again. (I also have album and cassette of same). No one has a voice like he does. Wish I could have seen him sing “The Weatherman” just once.

    Some of the country artist of today should put some of those songs back out. I had every album growing up and still play his stuff now. Had an oppurtunity to see him in Bristol, Tenn with about 200-300 people in a theatre, he performed live and his mother and family was there. It was 12 yrs ago. Just him and a guitar, it was incredible! Wish I could see him live again even if it was one song!!!!!!

    The only reason EVERY SONG written and EVERY ALBUM ;produced by Dave Loggins is not a phenomenal hit, is that they have not been heard…or circulated…One Way Ticket to Paradise,, and Moving to the Country are both absolutely great, albums and songs. Every song on the album is an absolute favorite.
