Free Music Notes for Souvenirs
Free Music Review: (4.5 stars) SOUVENIRS IS HONEST AND NATURAL IN IT'S SIMPLICITY (Dan Fogelberg's 2nd album of finely crafted gems from the heart)
Hit: 5 Stars
Dan Fogelberg's Souvenirs (1974) is an album that's perfectly represented by it's album cover. It features a photograph of Dan sitting in an antique rocking chair as he holds an eagle feather and looks directly at you. Simplicity can be a beautiful thing in this complicated world where things aren't always the way that they should be. It's honest and reassuring, and it connects each generation with the wisdom of the past. The music on this album is heartwarming and natural in it's simplicity, and it is also thoughtful, compassionate and as crisp and clear as the morning mountain air in Colorado where Dan lived during this time.
Dan Fogelberg was a musical master craftsman who carefully wrote and arranged intricate songs that were elegant and precise. His down-to-earth lyrics of love and life were genuinely majestic, and his mastery of the acoustic guitar was impressive. On this album he also played the electric guitar, piano, synthesizer, organ and the vibraphone.
Joe Walsh, who produced Souvenirs, played the electric guitar, 12-string guitar and sang backing vocals along with The Eagles' Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner and Don Henley (who also plays drums on the album).
Souvenirs opens with the hit single, Part Of The Plan. It's an acoustic guitar driven and philosophical song that Dan convincingly sings with sincerity and spirit.
Await your arrival
With simple survival
And one day we'll all understand...
Part Of The Plan is the most famous song here, but it's only just a sampling of the purity and wisdom that can be found on Souvenirs. Changing Horses, Souvenirs and Song From Half Mountain feature lovely acoustic guitar arrangements and are just gorgeous. Illinois and Better Change are country-folk/soft-rock gems with meaningful lyrics and beautiful vocal harmonies. Morning Sky works well as a contemporary bluegrass (w/ drums) number, and As The Raven Flies is a minor-key acoustic/electric guitar free-for-all and warning of evil disguised as beauty that really rocks.
There's A Place In This World For A Gambler is the album's masterpiece. The compassionate lyrics and inspiring arrangement make this gently compelling song the perfect way to close this album of "souvenirs".
There's a calm at the eye
Of every storm
There's a light in the depths
Of your darkness
Let it shine
Oh, let it shine
Dan Fogelberg, you've given us a gift we never can repay...
