The Profile

American country-rock duo formed by Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina, active mainly in the early 1970s. They released studio and live albums including Sittin' In and the celebrated live album On Stage.

Jim Messina had been a member of Buffalo Springfield and Poco before producing and teaming with Kenny Loggins. Kenny Loggins later had a successful solo career including soundtrack hits (e.g., "Footloose"), while the duo's prime period was the early-to-mid 1970s.

DeBaser hosts a handful of reviews on Loggins & Messina that highlight their role in 1970s country rock. The live album On Stage is praised as a landmark, while the later studio Native Sons is seen as more adult-oriented and less rock-driven. Jim Messina's guitar work and Kenny Loggins' voice are recurring points of praise.
