Outside: From the Redwoods

Outside: From the Redwoods is the second live album released by American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins. Released in August 1993, it is the recording of his June 1993 concert held "outside" at a venue located within a stand of giant redwood trees. The album features reworked versions of many of Loggins's songs, both from his solo work and his earlier work in Loggins and Messina. Michael McDonald gives a guest performance on a reworked version of their classic co-written, "What a Fool Believes", and R&B singer Shanice gives guest performances on "I Would Do Anything" and "Love Will Follow".

Background
Outside: From the Redwoods is Loggins's second live album. The concert was recorded live on June 23, 1993, at the Shakespeare Santa Cruz festival in Santa Cruz, California, with the played live setlist including several songs not appearing on the eventual album, such as "Forever". The concert video broadcast on PBS features a shuffled setlist and additionally included the songs "Return to Pooh Corner", "Will of the Wild" and "Watching the River Run / Danny's Song". The videotape was nominated for an Emmy in the "Best Mixing" category for 1994.
