gordon lightfoot had some excellent hits in the 70's, but there are some great lightfoot hits that are almost "unknown" to most. Enjoy. All those who are interested listeners of famous folk artists as i am will like this album very much. The only downside to this album are the last two to three songs on the album which lightfoot must have tried to bring to life in the early eighties.but other than that the other ffiteen songs are some great acoustic folk art ranging from the early sixties to the late 70's.
He has a unique voice and music that is truly enjoyable. The Seventies were a great decade for immensely talented singer/songwriters and Gordon's music is timeless for a reason. Music of the Seventies is some of the richest ever recorded and personally my favorite. Gordon Lightfoot is one of those musicians whose songwriting touches the human spirit with its poignant lyrics in songs like Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and If You Could Read My Mind. Not only is it great music, but these classics stay with you long after listening to them because they have much depth. This is an excellent collection of his finest that had much crossover appeal as soft rock, folk rock, and country.
As I began listening to this cd, I heard so many wonderful songs that had I never purchased this, I would have missed out on, besides all the great treasures of classic Gordon Lightfoot magic. I highly recommend this cd, as it is one of my favorites.
Gordon tells excellent stories through his songs. Thanks. I consider him to be the "King of Great Lakes Folk Rock".This is "Ultimate" CD to have by Gordon Lightfoot. Gordon gives a very good tribute to this ship and 29 crew members who died, in his hit song "The Wreak of the Edmund Fitzgerald", which is included in this CD.Other top 10 Smash hits include:SundownIf You Could Read my MindCarefree HighwayGordon Lightfoot is from Ontario, Canada. You get all his classic hits, and more, all on one CD, plus you get a track by track history of every song included. This is the "Ultimate Greatest Hits" CD from Gordon Lightfoot. This informaion includes the details of the "Wreak of the Edmund Fitzgerald" that happened in Lake Superior, on October 10, 1975. It's all very good smooth music, full of great stories.
Great from start to finish. They are nicely arranged in a pleasing-to-listen to order and very nicely remastered with excellent sound. While there will always be some people that think there should be other songs on this CD, we love it. Sure, there might be someone's favorite song missing, but this CD has pretty much ALL his greatest hits. If you only want to buy one CD or start with a "first one" from Gordon Lightfoot---this would be it.
