 | United Artists Collection [2 CD Set] [Read More ...]
Description: This two-disc, 49-song collection combines Lightfoot's first four albums into one specially priced package and offers a comprehensive look at the Canadian singer-songwriter before he achieved pop stardom. These late-1960s recordings are more pared down than his better-known 1... |
 | Gord's Gold [Read More ...]
Description: A national treasure in his native Canada and a timeless star Stateside and worldwide, legendary singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot first rose to fame in the mid-'60s when his compositions became hits for Peter, Paul and Mary ("Early Morning Rain") and Marty Robbins ("Ribbon of Da... |
 | Sundown [Read More ...]
Description: This album wasn't Lightfoot's breakthrough recording, but it was both a demonstration of the rocking electric turn most folkies would make after Dylan's revolution, and a commercially successful marriage of soulful, R&B sensibility with folk narratives. The title cut is probably ... |
 | Summertime Dream [Read More ...]
Review: Lightfoot's best album:This album is worth the money for just The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, in my opinion. However, the rest of the album is not to be underestimated. It's a great easy-going album which doesn't have any offensive tunes on it. This is a great background musi... |
 | Songbook [Read More ...]
Description: An institution north of the Canadian border, Gordon Lightfoot is practically the living embodiment of what many think of as the national character. Stoic, weathered, and hard-working, Lightfoot practices a husky brand of folk music that's as timeless as the Canadian landscape tha... |

| Gord's Gold [Read More ...]
Description: Warm, gentle, and welcoming, Gordon Lightfoot's folk-rock disarms even the most cynical listener. When his bright melodies mesh with his full, deep voice and his innocent poetry, the result is almost hypnotic, like floating away on a soft cloud. Of course, after 21 songs' worth, ... |
 | If You Could Read My Mind [Read More ...]
Review: some of the best music available:I received this 'album' for my 13th birthday, and that was a long time ago - it was a new release then! I have listened to it so many times since, at so many different stages in my life.
As an adult, I have sung 'Pony Man' to my children; as ... |
 | Gord's Gold, Vol. 2 [Read More ...]
Review: More tin than gold:This second helping of Gordon Lightfoot's "gold" is a tepid follow-up to his phenomenal first album of hits and songs. Except for a couple of tunes, the music itself lacks depth and interest. The production is overly-synthesized, masking Lightfoot's best assets... |
 | Don Quixote [Read More ...]
The Minstrel of the Dawn:I appreciate Lightfoot's musical ramblings. I even saw him play a few tunes at the Ryman. But I wish I'd seen him when he was first touring with these songs, on this album; he truly was the Minstrel of the Dawn+ |
 | Cold on the Shoulder [Read More ...]
Cold on the Shoulder:Gordon Lightfoot could melt butter with his voice. A must CD for all those "Rainy Day People". |
 | Summer Side of Life [Read More ...]
Review: A Solid 4 1/2 from a Mature Artist.:With this album and Don Quixote, Gordon Lightfoot approaches the zenith of his songwriting, fully achieved in Sundown and Cold on the Shoulder. As others have said, there are many classics here -- some known and others not so much. While "Sum... |
 | Sunday Concert [Read More ...]
Review: One foot in folk and one out the door...:In 1969, when "Sunday Concert" was recorded, Gordon Lightfoot was on the verge of stardom in America. Already a seasoned and respected singer/songwriter in his native Canada, Lightfoot looked to "make it" in the larger more lucrative folk... |
 | Waiting for You [Read More ...]
Review: Gord's magic:It's all here! Having been a Gordon fan since the day he released his first single, I have yet to be disappointed. This is a must have for your collection. If you see "Gordon Lightfoot" anywhere on a cd, get it! He is a master and a gem so rare, he is one of a dying ... |
 | Harmony (Import) [Read More ...]
Review: Still Creative After All These Years: Harmony is a great album if you give it a chance. No, there is no "Edmund Fitzgerald" or "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" on this album. But there are some great new, mellow, introspective songs written by Gordon. Sure, he is 60-something and his... |
 | Harmony [Read More ...]
Description: GORDON LIGHTFOOT -Harmony Songwriter Gordon Lightfoot will release his new CD Harmony, on May 11th, 2004. Harmony is Gordon Lightfoot’s 20th album. A stunning collection of new and previously unreleased songs which he has been working on over the last two years. Gordon was st... |
 | East of Midnight [Read More ...]
Review: The style is dated, but the substance remains:Up front, I will take this over late-period Bob Dylan any day. The lyrics here are much more poetic and playful than the cut-and-paste jobs Dylan has forced us to endure in his latest, Modern Times.
Lightfoot's melodies and hooks ar... |
 | A Painter Passing Through [Read More ...]
Description: The camps remain divided on Gordon Lightfoot, largely due to his love-it-or-hate-it 1976 hit single "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Those on the fan side of the line will find reasons to enjoy his 1998 album A Painter Passing Through; the naysayers won't. Lightfoot, nearing... |
 | Endless Wire [Read More ...]
Review: Another extraordinary suite of songs:Normally I don't dwell on what others say in these reviews. I focus on the music itself. In this case though, I have to make an exception. The negative reviews on this stun me. The basic conclusion I draw is that those who don't like this albu... |
 | Lightfoot!/The Way I Feel [Read More ...]
Review: Classic Lightfoot album: Must own!:Any true Lightfoot fan should own this import with some of his well-known favorites performed earlier in his career. The sound is pristine and some of these renditions I prefer over such perennial versions as are on Gord's Gold or other later a... |
