Souvenirs is the second studio solo album by the American rock singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg. Joe Walsh produced the album and played on ten of the eleven tracks. The album was released in late 1974 on the label Epic Records. It reached No. 17 on the Billboard 200 in March 1975 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA.
Reviewing retrospectively for AllMusic, critic Stephen J. Matteo wrote, "Dan Fogelberg expanded slightly on his sparse, countrified folk sound, adding a distinctively more pop feel, thanks to help from producer Joe Walsh."[4]
