More good stuff about Dan! ( POST 2 OF TODAY...See my Witch below )

This is the album cover (or part of it) of Dan Fogelberg's 'High Country Snows'-produced in 1985.

This is a Bluegrass album- surprisingly -excellent!
Although some of Dan's songs have had a bit of a country sound in earlier albums - this is pure Country Bluegrass.
Some of Country's finest artists were a part of this album-such as Doc Watson, Charlie McCoy, Vince Gill, Rickey Scaggs and other well known names. This album has 7 of Dan's songs and 4 Bluegrass songs written by others! I must say-he does them justice-with help from those other country performers!

I had a comment from a blogging buddy who reminded me of a song by Dan from this album. ( still talking about Autumn , too!)

Thanks, Diane! I'm always happy to talk about Dan Fogelberg and listen to his music! I am doing that right now! :)

I also looked up the song lyrics.

The song was
' Go Down Easy'.
..and I remember seeing a video of this song- with Dan, Skiing! Oh-I would love to have that Video- or at least see it again!

Dan Fogelberg (Actually, this was written by Jay Bolotin)

( lyrics below)


Go Down Easy

Linda lost her lover in the early part of autumn
And she moved out to the country
Hoping all would be forgotten.
The last time that I saw her
She was makin' sure the winter
Wouldn't come through that old door frame
Where the door is several inches from the ground,
The cold hard ground.

(Chorus)
And it's hard to go down easy;
And it's hard to keep from cryin';
And it's hard to lose a lover
In the early part of autumn.

Well, she learned to cook the meals
And she learned to start the fire;
And she learned to make jewelry
Out of stones and precious metals.
She sits down to the table
With her friends and several others
And she tries real hard to never be alone.

(Chorus)

Now the winter wind blows cold
Upon a fair and gentle soul
And she feels as if her time is passin' easy.
Her friends are sometimes lovers,
Though they'll always be another
She thinks about when the night time lays on down.

(Chorus) twice

Two other really good songs on this album are:

'Sutter's Mill' (about the California gold rush)
and
'High Country Snows'

( both Dan's songs )


This is a superb album!
