Live music review: Kenny Rogers, 3Arena, Dublin
Kenny Rogers recently underwent knee surgery — though he fears they replaced “the wrong knee”. Thus this towering giant of country music remained seated for much of the evening as he brought his victory lap tour (his last before retirement) to Dublin.
Rogers was here to reminisce as much as sing, with endless anecdotes about his early days as a doo-wop vocalist and, fronting the hippyish The First Edition, an unlikely protest rocker (yielding his early, drug-referencing smash ‘Just Dropped In’).
