Dan Fogelberg - The Innocent Age - 2xLP

Dan Fogelberg’s 1981 double album The Innocent Age stands out not only for its ambitious scope but for the company it keeps, featuring backing vocals from Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Glenn Frey, and Don Henley. Inspired by Thomas Wolfe’s novel Of Time and the River, the album explores themes of reflection and transition, wrapped in lush arrangements recorded across studios in Colorado and California. The Innocent Age made a notable splash with four Top 10 Billboard singles, offering a blend of folk-rock and soft rock that captured a wide audience without ever feeling contrived—proof that sometimes, a double album can say plenty without overstaying its welcome. This 1981 pressing presents the whole package in a familiar vinyl format, capturing the album’s layered production with clarity. The vinyl here is in VG++ condition, meaning it’s very clean and glossy with only minor, light marks that won’t interfere with playback. For anyone drawn to albums that balance storytelling and musical craftsmanship, this pressing of The Innocent Age offers a solid listen with a touch of that early ’80s studio polish. It might not fit on the same shelf as your punk or disco records, but it’s one you’ll be glad to have nearby when the mood calls for thoughtful reflection. Unknown Artist.
