About The Record:

Twin Sons of Different Mothers was the first of Dan Fogelberg's two collaborations with jazz flautist Tim Weisberg. Much like Joni Mitchell, Dan Fogelberg, primarily a singer/songwriter, sought to continue his musical growth on this release by adding jazz to his sound. Rather than simply employing jazz musicians as his musical backing, Fogelberg here went for an all-out collaboration with jazz flutist Tim Weisberg, even to the point of having him co-produce the album. As experimental as the album appeared on the surface, it was the perfect mix of jazz-tinged instrumental music and folk- and country-inspired pop/rock. The album yielded the hit The Power of Gold, which peaked at #24 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album, like its predecessor, Nether Lands, is beautifully produced, is best listened to as a complete effort, and still sounds strong all these years later. The album charted at #8 on the albums chart.
