Lightning In a Bottle

Most Rock critics & historians have somehow labelled Dan Fogelberg as a Soft-Rock specialist & a crafter of fine melodies & Love Ballads. However this is so far from the truth! His music ROCKS & defines him as one of the most brilliant songwriters guitarists & producers in the history of Rock & Roll. Fogelberg's discography ranks amongst the very best ever assembled at the same level as say Steely Dan Joni Mitchell & Stevie Wonder. However with his albums Phoenix & The Innocent Age Fogelberg created two absolute masterpieces that represent pure genius! On the Phoenix album Fogelberg conceived an eternal song cycle crafted around the ancient Sanskrit word Samsara the true Cycle of Life (Birth Life Death & Re-birth). Thus the title track Phoenix became the physical representation of this eternal journey through our Life Cycle. On the album Fogelberg wove these important lyrics to his brilliant music seamlessly as each was an extension of the other! Every fan of his music will cherish this book!
