Sadly, we lost Kenny 4 years ago today. We’re reflecting on the amazing music he left us, the good times we were able to share and the great person he was. What’s your favorite KR memory? -Team KR
We are thrilled to announce the June 2nd arrival (via UMe) of a moving new Kenny Rogers album: LIFE IS LIKE A SONG, featuring eight unreleased recordings and two coveted rarities from the KR vault! Kenny shares wisdom on life, love, family and loss in this specially curated collection of music by Kenny’s widow, Wanda Rogers, showcasing amazing never-before-heard music from the one and only Kenny Rogers. The album is being released in memory of Kenny to honor him and his musical legacy. The project marks the first new non-Christmas studio album by Rogers in 10 years and the only non-compilation/non-reissued full-length album to be released on vinyl since 1991.

This week in 2011, Kenny Rogers released the incredibly heartfelt THE LOVE OF GOD exclusively via @crackerbarrel … What’s your favorite song from this album? -Team KR
Kenny always welcomed a big challenge. In fact, he relished pushing himself and trying something new. Think about his career and truly how remarkable it was. He is one of the best-selling artists of all time. He would be the last to tell you that because he was a very modest guy, but how many artists have been able to sing doo-wop, jazz, folk, psychedelia, rock, country-rock, country, pop, adult contemporary, southern rock, yacht rock, soul, R&B, Gospel, Christian, bluegrass, big band and on and on—not to mention some of the best duets ever recorded / performed—at such a high level and with so much success? He was so talented, versatile, and resilient. -Team KR
Happy Mother’s Day! Today we send our deepest gratitude to the heroes who give their all to their children and family! -Team KR
Two legendary, funny guys! @_kennyrogers & @officialjohnnycarson #throwbackthursday -Team KR
