![]() The Very Best of Dan Fogelberg $7.99 i'm sorry, but my personal opinion is that his first four albums were the best of his career. to have only 2 songs represent this early stage of his career, and to call it 'the very best of dan fogelberg' is a travesty. if you are familiar with his work, you already know this. if you are new to him, and think he only wrote sappy romantic ballads, listen to his first 4 albums. that material is 'the very best of dan fogelberg', in my opinion. ![]() Love in Time $13.98 Even after 50 5-star reviews I still feel compelled to add my own thoughts on this wonderful album. Frankly, I wasn't certain what to expect. I had heard that his voice was weak at the end and sometimes money overrides artistic considerations. In this case, neither of these is of the least concern; this is Dan at his finest. Others have provided the track-by-track reviews that this album deserves; I just want to say that I feel it closes the circle on a remarkable career. No artist with a career as long as Dan's and with as much musical variety can hit it out of the park every time. There were albums and songs along the way that I wished I could have just jumped behind the board and remixed a bit. Too much compression and shrill vocals leading to listener fatigue. You will find none of that here. When Dan is in control, as he was for the mixing and production of this album you get classic Dan Fogelberg, tight harmonies, superb instrumental accompaniment and meaningful songs. All are present on this release. But, mostly this album seems to bring his career back around to the beginning. It sounds much like his earlier work, presented by a much more experienced artist. It really does complete the song cycle that was Dan Fogelberg. ![]() Love In Time $9.49 Even after 50 5-star reviews I still feel compelled to add my own thoughts on this wonderful album.

It is sturdy and really easy to read and follow. The index makes finding the information you need really easy. I'll give it a read once every diving season and pack it along with the BC, hoping I'll never have to reach for it. |
