5.0 out of 5 stars a nice duet............, October 23, 2000
This is the first of two duet projects by Fogelberg and flutist Tim Weisberg. Fogelbergs sound lends itself easily to the inclusion of woodwind. The flute is obviously more prominent then just another part of the orchestra aka `Netherlands.'

Many of the tracks here are instrumental. `Twins theme', `Intimidation' and `Lazy Susan' start the album off in this way, `Lazy Susan' being a duet of guitar and flute I think is what they set out to achieve when they envisioned this collaberation. And I find it to be the best track on the album. Not all the songs are instrumentals, there are vocals and some cover songs as well. The Hollies song `Tell me to my face' is given a nice reading by the boy's. Judy Collin's `Since you asked' is a natural for Fogelberg and became a popular wedding song for those married in 78 and 79. This song is worth the price of the album alone.

Last but not least on the album is the inclsion of Dan's first top 40 hit since `Part of the plan' back in 1974. Often considered the tour de force of this album, `Power of Gold' began a nice run of hits for Dan spanning the next 5 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unjustly panned, October 18, 2001
By A Customer
I usually find customer reviews on Amazon useful, since they reflect the consumer's and the fan's point of view, rather than the prevailing critics' domination of what's cool and what's not.

Not the last two reviews on this album!

I would have posted seven more 5-stars to bring the overall rating of this album closer to justice, only if this site allows it. My point is if you don't like Fogelberg, go somewhere else.

Amongst the discography of the artist, this album surely deserves a better treatment. After the eclectic and overall superb Nether Lands, the artist was at such peak of his creative powers that he made a largely-instrumental album with another not-so-well-known musician, treading on unfamiliar ground with a sense of experiment and adventure. For a singer/songwriter known for his vocal compositions, this is a bold and commendable move in itself.

If The Power Of Gold is weak, the seven minutes version of a Hollies remake (Tell Me To My Face) more than compensates it. If the bossa nova feel of the album makes it sound like elevator music, I don't really mind the ride. In addition, there's the elegant and romantic Paris Nocturne, surely one of the best melodies Fogelberg has ever created.

Can't say very much about albums like Exile, but this album was significant enough in the Fogelberg catalog to warrant a sequel (can'y say very much about that one either.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Break away from the ordinary boundaries, November 6, 2001
By Dan Rowley (Ut., USA) - See all my reviews
I first heard this album in the summer of '78. I thought it was unusual to hear, of all things, a jazz flute? Anyway, this album is one of many which proves the talent and versatility of Dan Fogelberg. It's a shame that when we see "Best Of" and "Greatest Hits" albums that they only contain the old, worn out top 40 hits of the past- not that they aren't and weren't good, but if you have never heard some of the lesser known compositions of Dan Fogelberg, i dare say you have no idea of how fluently poetic and lovely some of those works are. Anyway, back to this album- Tim Weisberg and Dan Fogelberg blend together so well that it sounds like two old friends having a good time. It works because of the versatility and talent of Dan Fogelberg.
