Captured Angel
Captured Angel is the third album by American singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg, released in 1975. He promoted the album with a tour in support of The Eagles. The album peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard 200. It has sold more than a million copies. Production
The album was produced by Fogelberg. He alone recorded all of the instrumental parts before being convinced by his label to allow for a few re-recordings and contributions by other musicians. The majority of the album was recorded at a studio in South Pekin, Illinois; Fogelberg had returned home to care for his ill father. Critical reception
Stereo Review praised Fogelberg's musicianship, but wrote that as a singer "he sounds raw, unsure, and at times even amateurish, particularly when any emotionality is involved." Track listing
