Before he passed away, Dan Fogelberg put the finishing touches on some new tracks and a few that had been lingering on tape for a number of years. The results are Love in Time, his final album of new material which will be released on August 13 via the digital services by Universal Music Group. A CD version of the album will be out at a future date after Universal has a chance to finalize pro...
He was the voice and multi-instrumentalist behind songs like "Leader of the Band," "The Power of Gold" and "Same Old Lang Syne." His career in folk and soft rock music, which channeled a likeliness to Jackson Browne and James Taylor, included the classic 1977 album Nether Lands ("Dancing Shoes," "Phoenix," and "Longer".) But on Sunday, singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg lost his battle with prosta...
