Lightning In a Bottle: A Book Series On the Most Important Rock Albums In Music History Album # 42 Dan Fogelberg Phoenix
Synopsis "Lightning In a Bottle: A Book Series On the Most Important Rock Albums In Music History Album # 42 Dan Fogelberg Phoenix"
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!
