Dan Fogelberg (1977) Lessons Learned

 From what I consider his best, 1977's Netherlands album where his balladry reached a peak in maturity as well as his compositions. This may sound like a simple, laid back country tune but the vocal arrangement and lyrical content is superb.

The ragged strum along with Dans' beautifully folkish tone manages too carry the strength and conviction of a rock music.The side harmonies are great lines like "Wanted to start something new" or "Are the spoils worth the cost of the heart?" The lyrics are also refreshingly different from the usual romantic/lonely dichotomy of pop music.
