sleepless since 3 a.m., I somehow find myself thinking about Dan Fogelberg, whose name, to me, when I was a snotty "everything louder and darker" teen, was anathema. turns out, unsurprisingly, that there is considerably more to him than "Longer" (which still dislike, but I wonder if that also isn't lasting adolescent aversion to a certain strain of grown-up schmaltz). early pre-dawn explorations only allow two observations so far and these are they

1) I wonder if anybody on ilx would have been able to ID the artist listening to this outstanding bluegrass workout without knowing who it was by. The list of bluegrass luminaries on the album is bonkers & the harmonies are unsurprisingly cosmic, just gorgeous.
