Starting out as
Dan Fogelberg's backing band,
Fool's Gold decided to strike out on their own with this eponymous disc. Full of high harmony and easy country-rock tunes,
Fool's Gold will warm the hearts of anyone who is a fan of such bands as
the Eagles or
Poco. Highlights include "Rain, Oh Rain," "Rollin' Fields and Meadows," and a cover of
Fogelberg's own "Old Tennessee." Helped out by such friends as
Glyn Johns,
Glenn Frey, and
Joe Walsh along the way,
Fool's Gold has just the right blend of country and rock to entice listeners to enjoy this fine album. ~ James Chrispell
