Van Wagner is now
on iTunes as DRM-free iTunes Plus selections. Only "Be a Tree" and "Shikellamy" are available so far.
His music is not the type of music that typically engages me the most, but as I say in my iTunes review of "Be a Tree":
Beautiful strings and well written lyrics bring the history of Pennsylvania in days past to life. Living in the state and experiencing the people and their stories, Van Wagner brings a fun and interesting perspective on everything from superstition, factory work, coal mining, and back woods philosophy to this album.
I consider this a decent capsule summary of his music in general; some albums focus more on history, others more on the atmosphere of life.
My favorite album by Van Wagner is "Climbing to the Top," but it is not available on iTunes yet.
