Fools Gold (1977) Runnin and Hidin

 Starting as Dan Fogelberg's backing band this slick country rock outfit boasted some exquisite vocals, and while there was more interesting tunes on their 76 debut which came across as with a more pastorale yacht rock that had more polish than the Eagles, there second album was a little to bland arena pop heavy on piano and soundalike melodies but this track with it's cinematic pedal steel opening and harmonies as silky as an ocean breeze hits you on a bigger scale than country rock usually ever did. To me this group was far more successors to the Eagles than say Firefall or Poco with well written songs, clear production and future 80s hit songwriter Tom Kelly's distinctive tenor.
