IT is interesting to see Dan Fogelberg being re-evaluated. He'd been pretty much thrown to the scrap heap for what many considered to be schmaltzy saccharin pop. I too have come across some great copies of most of his 70s albums recently which I acquired for next to nothing.
I put one on for a few minutes and ended up listening to the whole thing. Then I tried the others. And now I'm a fan.
He was a musician's son and it shows. The music is tetured with nice layers and never really overdone.
I think he got bashed a little because he was a singer/songwriter in the late 70s when punk and funk were hip. Had he come along when James Taylor, Harry Chapin and the likes were starting, he might have gotten more respect.
BRUCE COCKBURN is my absolute favorite. Get all you can. Not a dud in his repertoire.
