 | 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: 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 ... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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+ |
 | 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 ... |
 | 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, ... |
 | 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... |
 | 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". |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | 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 ... |
 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | Sunday Concert [Read More ...]
Review: Gordon's GREATEST Album....IMHO!:Of all of Gordon Lightfoot's many, many, albums, this, SUNDAY CONCERT, is the most brilliant-shining of them. And, it seems, it is nearly always the one I pick first when I'm wanting to listen to a "little bit of Lightfoot"!
Over his long career,... |
 | 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... |
 | Best of Gordon Lightfoot [Read More ...]
Get another collection.:These are obviously good songs, but if you're looking for his bigger hits, spend a few more dollars on "Complete Greatest Hits". It's twice as long, and includes "Sundown", "Carefree Highway", and many more. Even "Gord's Gold" is better than this. |
