Live a Little by Big Kenny

Big Kenny cut Live a Little for Hollywood Records back in 1999, before he and John Rich became Big & Rich, and the label sat on it until March 1, 2005, after the duo's debut album was already out. So what finally surfaced is a time capsule: a solo record by William Kenneth Alphin, the guy who had been fronting a band called luvjOi, and it plays as rock and pop rather than the country music he'd go on to make with Rich.
The hooks are bright, the guitars crunchy, the attitude loose and goofy-grinned, with "Candy Colored Glasses" the stickiest of the bunch. One track shows how tangled the two careers were: "Pray for You", which Rich also recorded as "I Pray for You" and turned into a minor chart single in 2000, and which Kenny cut again with Rich in 2005 for the duo's Comin' to Your City. The Quiet Times of a Rock and Roll Farm Boy followed in 2009.
