Dan Fogelberg Nether Lands (1977)
Originally Released 1977\nCD Edition Released August 1985\n\nAMGEXPERT REVIEW: While continuing to grow as an artist, Fogelberg extended himself even further on his fourth album. Somewhat of a concept album, replete with orchestration and following an underlying theme throughout, it had the feel of a long, unified musicalsuite. Powerful, moving and emotionally charged, it firmly established Fogelberg as a major artist whose creative reach seemed boundless. Arriving at the height of the California rock explosion,the album brought together rock, pop, country, folk and classicalmusical ideas in a fully cohesive effort. Though some of the songs could stand on their own, the album begs to be listened to asa complete work. Fogelberg was stretching himself to ambitious heights, not only through his songwriting, singing and turns on various instruments, but also by producing the album himself. Netherlands both reflected and surpassed the '70s music sound and, mostimportantly, still resonates many years later. -- Steve Matteo\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nQuintessential Fogelberg, December 26, 2006\nReviewer: Dale Casper "Ghostman" (Norwalk, OH USA)\nIf you can only listen to one Fogelberg album, this should be theone. Everything about Dan's music (the good and the bad) is distilled into these 11 cuts. \n\nDan Folgelberg is the most potent provider of tragic-romantic, had-true-love-and-real-meaning-in-my-life-but-lost-it, yearnings in pop music of the 70's. Yes, sometimes he overdoes it and appears bathetic. Yes, sometimes he tries too hard (pushing his voice over the edge on the song "Nether Lands"). But those who bash this album miss the point of Dan's music.He gives voice to the deep longing and sense of loss that many of us wish we could express ourselves. My personal favourite is "Scarecrow's Dream"; hauntingly performed, it has haunted my dreamsfor all these years. \n\nIf you like Fogelberg, you will love this album.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThe only album that'sever made me cry., November 30, 2006\nReviewer: Christina De Villier (Oregon, USA)\nThis album is a beautiful, melancholy work andcertainly one of Fogelberg's greatest works, if not his best. Ifirst fell in love with it (though I'd heard it before) when traveling in Europe. I needed an album to relax to, and this was whatI chose. What an eye-opener! Becoming familiar with the lyrics as well as the melodies has given me, as I've grown older, insights into my own mind. How can I praise this musician more? He's shown me an window into my soul, not just his own. \n\nThe exquisitepairing of Dancing Shoes and Lessons Learned (they come one after the other) was enough, one hard day, to bring me to tears. \n\nEven if music doesn't move you, or moves you so often that it doesn't matter anymore, listen to this album. You won't regret it. \n\nPoignant, poetic, beautifully instrumented, and deeply sad without being hopeless.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nUnderrated and underappreciated - one of Fogelberg's finest, September 26, 2006\nReviewer: Warren Mullin (Kansas City)\nAlthough it peaked ata respectable #13 on Billboard's album charts in June of 1977, this album is still unknown to many that have only listened for Dan's chart hits. Two singles ("Love Gone By" and the promo "NetherLands") failed to achieve any true commercial success, but that statistic belies the greatness of content. "Nether Lands" containssome of Dan's finest compositions and flows beautifully, stirring many dimensions and genres of musical styles. For those attunedto the pure lyrical and melodic trademark folk style of Dan's, there are generous helpings here. For those with an ear for commercial pop, listen to the aforementioned tunes, as well as "Once Upon A Time" and "False Faces". Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and John David Souther are among the fine talents that lend a hand in crafting the sounds heard on this disc, and the compostitions are introspective and bold. This was a harbinger of great things to follow,and those who did buy this when it was a fresh 12-inch piece ofwax knew it. Great
This rock cd contains 11 tracks and runs 45min 56sec.
