I would encourage everyone not familiar with his work to go out and listen to “Netherlands”, “Souvenirs”, “Captured Angel”, and “The Innocent Age”. We have lost a beautiful soul today.
You are absolutely right. Much of his best work was on the albums you mentioned, “Netherlands”, “Souvenirs”, “Captured Angel”, and “The Innocent Age”. Fogelberg was a great writer of both melodies and lyrics. My own personal favorite was a very dark, haunting song called “Wysteria.”
I will be playing his tunes this weekend on the Music Canteen.
