Our Take

DAN FOGELBERG's "Windows And Walls" is like wandering into a quaint pub in the Cotswolds only to find yourself surrounded by a crowd of Morris dancers doing the Macarena. This album is a perplexing mix of folk, country, and soft rock that somehow manages to be both comforting and utterly bizarre.

From the opening track "The Language of Love" to the haunting piano ballad "Believe in Me," Fogelberg's songwriting is as unexpected as the British weather. Just when you think you've got a handle on his sound, he throws in a banjo solo or a saxophone riff that leaves you scratching your head in delight.

The production on this album is top-notch, with crisp guitar riffs and lush string arrangements that transport you to a smoky pub in the Scottish Highlands. Fogelberg's voice is warm and inviting, like a pint of Guinness on a rainy day.

But just when you start to feel cosy, he hits you with a curveball like "Bones in the Sky," a jaunty little number that sounds like it belongs in a Broadway musical about sheep farming. It's this delightful unpredictability that makes "Windows And Walls" a must-listen for fans of quirky, genre-defying music.

So grab a pint, put on your dancing shoes, and prepare to be serenaded by the musical equivalent of a double rainbow over Stonehenge. DAN FOGELBERG's "Windows And Walls" is a delightful trip down the rabbit hole that you won't soon forget. Cheers!

About the artist

Dan Fogelberg

Profile: DAN FOGELBERG In the hazy, sun-soaked landscape of 1970s soft rock, one name stands out like a lone sailboat on a tranquil lake: Dan Fogelberg. With his golden voice and introspective lyrics, Fogelberg spun tales of love, loss, and the passage of time that resonated with audiences around the world. Born in Peoria, Illinois in 1951, Fogelberg's musical journey began at an early age. He was a natural talent, mastering multiple instruments and honing his songwriting skills with a dedication that belied his youth. By the time he released his debut album, "Home Free", in 1972, Fogelberg was already a seasoned pro. Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Fogelberg's star continued to rise, as he churned out hit after hit, including the iconic ballad "Leader of the Band" and the hauntingly beautiful "Same Old Lang Syne". His music captured the zeitgeist of the era, blending folk, rock, and pop influences into a sound that was uniquely his own. But Fogelberg was more than just a hit-maker; he was a true artist, unafraid to push the boundaries of his craft. His albums were intricate tapestries of sound, each one a carefully crafted masterpiece that showcased his prodigious talents as a musician and songwriter. Sadly, Fogelberg's life was cut short when he succumbed to prostate cancer in 2007, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire musicians and fans alike. His music lives on, a testament to the enduring power of art to touch the soul and transcend the bounds of time. Dan Fogelberg may have left us too soon, but his music will always be a beacon of light in a world that is often too dark.
