Firstly heard this album in the mid of 1982, I thought it was
unusual to catch. Also my first impression to Dan Fogelberg,
this album is one of many which proves the talent and versatility
of him. If you have ever in love of his beautiful ballads such
(Longer (alb. Phoenix) or Believe In Me (alb. Windows and Walls),
I would say you have no idea of how fluently poetic and lovely some
of those works are. This album was the first of two duet projects
by Fogelberg and flutist Tim Weisberg, they blended together so
well that it sounds like two old friends having a good time. From
its cover we can see the similarity, hair of both, just like brothers
of different mothers. Fogelberg sound lends itself easily to the
inclusion of woodwind to the elegant and romantic Paris Nocturne,
or excerpt Guitar Etude No. 3. Surely one of the best melodies
Fogelberg has ever created, and that's the spirit as a whole.

Inilah salah satu album CD yg masuk daftar "Most Wanted" hingga
kini, "Twin Sons of Different Mothers" (1978). Album studio kelima
milik penulis, penyanyi, komposer dan musisi Daniel Grayling
Fogelberg, ato kolaborasi pertama dgn sahabatnya sang jagoan flute
Tim Weisberg. Fogelberg memiliki multi bakat sekaligus rekan di
kalangan banyak genre meliputi folk, jazz, classical, hingga
bluegrass, dan salah satu penggemar fanatiknya adalah Vince Gill.
Sementara kuping Indonesia mungkin familiar dgn lagu "Longer" yg
sering dinyanyikan banyak artis termasuk jadi pilihan favorit
kontestan pada ajang American Idol. Fogelberg memang terlahir dari
keluarga musikal, ayahnya veteran perang dunia II dan jadi guru
musik sekolahan serta sang ibu guru piano klasik di Illinois.
Khusus untuk ayahnya yg pernah memimpin band country lokal serta
mendukung karirnya, ia khusus mempersembahkan sebuah balada
bersemangat "Leader of the Band" menjelang wafatnya. Saat itulah
ia menerima warisan sebuah 'old hawaiian slide guitar' di usia 14,
yg memberi motivasi untuk mulai menulis lagu bahkan membentuk
band sendiri.

Album Twin Sons of Different Mothers jelas merangkum pergaulan dan
keluwesannya seperti bertemu Tim Weisberg (flute) dan Neil Larsen
(piano) di Jazz, juga ada country-man Graham Nash, Don Henley
vokalis The Eagles. Sebagai pembuka adalah tiga nomor instrumental,
Twins Theme, Intimidation, dan khususnya Lazy Susan yg mengekspos
duel gitar lawan flute. Pada balad Since You've Asked menampilkan
desahan Judy Collin dimana lagu ini sempat popular sbg lagu
pernikahan, serta Tell Me To My Face merupakan adaptasi versi
rock dari miliknya The Hollies. Nomor favoritku pribadi ada pada
instrumental Paris Nocturne, kelincahan Guitar Etude No. 3, serta
Lahaina Luna untuk bisa dibilang adalah perekat untuk semua lagu
keseluruhan jika ingin ditinjau sbg album konsep. Sementara pilihan
judul album "Anak Kembar Dari Beda Emak", lebih merupakan selera
humornya Fogelberg terutama melihat foto cover album. Dimana
keduanya mejeng bak foto keluarga, kemiripan kembar terutama
sama brewokan plus rambut gondrongnya. Nah, ada yg bisa membantuku
mendapatkan CD album originalnya? Sementara versi MP3 sudah
punya bahkan kusimpan di multiplyku.
