About this album

Like A Seed shows Kenny Rankin at his most graceful, blending jazz phrasing, pop melody and folk understatement into a quietly distinctive album. Issued in 1972, it builds on the singer-songwriter sensibility that made Rankin one of the era’s most refined voices, with supple arrangements and an unforced warmth that suits both intimate ballads and more rhythmically open material. The title song and the reflective Peaceful point to his gift for turning restraint into feeling, while the album’s mix of jazz and pop colours gives it lasting appeal. It remains a fine example of Rankin’s elegant, understated artistry.
