NotesGordon's rich voice and earthy folk-pop struck a chord with pop and country fans. Includes Sundown; the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald; If You Could Read My Mind; the Circle Is Small; Carefree Highway; Rainy Day People; Baby Step Back; Beautiful, and more!
"Gord's Gold" has some of these tracks, but this compilation has the original versions. It is wonderful to hear Red Shea and John Stockfish on many of the songs. The three together made music that is unparalleled. The liner notes are spectacular too.
This is an excellent album that provides the opportunity to listen to Gord songs from his early country western roots through to his standards. performed when he was quite young with a younger voice.
It's Gordon Lightfoot, need I say more? He is delivering the original recordings here and I think they are as good or better than his greatest hit covers of himself. The man is awesome though in both formats.
