Hard to believe, and hard to say, his last great one. - Reviewed on 2008-01-11
More than half my life, I have known Dan Fogelberg's music deeply and intimately, and having own everything from his Red Herring lp's to Full Circle, including bootleg copies to collectors items, I find it hard to believe he is gone, and hard to say goodbye.
But, as with any great musical artist, a wealth of profound musical and lyrical artistry to listen to, such as Full Circle, Dan has left us with something I believe no fan of Dan and no fan of music should want to miss.
Full Circle is classic Dan Fogelberg.
But I find it difficult do Define Classic Dan Fogelberg.
He has infused Homefree with Innocent Age, and with The Wild Places.
Success in the eyes of the world and what has become popular these days, has eluded Dan, and thank God for this.
I have no desire to put his music in a box filled with pop, hip hop, so called country, and somehow make believe that Full Circle should want to be something more than what Dan has weaved it to be, a Pure Dan Fogelberg statement of artistry as he sees it. Not what is popular and accepted.
With that said, Buy this one, buy Home Free, Buy Souveniors, Buy Innocent Age, and then you may come to find that your definition of music has reached new peaks. Dan is unsung to modern success, and all is as it should be in what he hoped his life in the eyes of fans like myself. I never knew him personaly, and I never met him in life, but his music is my friend, and I hope that you would give him a chance and a try.
