Title: TRIBUTE TO A MODERN MINSTREL
Product review: Considered by many (see Amazon reviews) as Dan's most definitive recording, this 1977 release is certainly representative of the modern day poet's eclectic ability. Still using his ethereal vocals, Dan manages to foreshadow the maturity he would adapt in later years, those years that would broaden his audience and establish his pop star status.There are four especially impressive Tracks on NETHER LANDS: the elegantly orchestral beauty of the title tune; the mournfully touching SKETCHES; SCARECROW'S DREAM's dreamy imagery; and the brutal honesty of FALSE FACES.The remaining tracks are quite good but don't have quite the impact of the above-mentioned four tracks.While this is not my personal Fogelberg fave, it is a superlative tribute to Dan's unique artistry that was silenced far too soon.
