 | 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... |
 | If You Could Read My Mind [Read More ...]
Review: Beautiful Songs, Melancholy and Enduring:I've loved this album for 35 years. Some of the people close to me used to make fun of the music, and I still don't understand why. His songs touch me in a different way from other music. Some people I've known have been just as involve... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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+ |
 | 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... |
 | 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, ... |
 | 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 ... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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". |
 | 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... |
![]() | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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 ... |
 | Did She Mention My Name/Back Here on Earth [Read More ...]
Description: His 1968 third United Artists label release, 'Did She Mention My Name,' was produced in New York by John Simon, who had previously produced Leonard Cohen and the Band. The songs include a commentary on the 1967 Detroit riots, Black Day In July. Late in '68, Lightfoot returned to ... |
