Home / Country & Americana / The Gambler
A blockbuster of narrative country-pop, home to its iconic title song. Tuneful and huge. A crossover landmark. Released in 1978, it's a standout in Kenny Rogers's catalogue.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
