title: Summertime Dream
text: Editorial Reviews Summertime Dream became Lightfoot’s biggest U.S. seller thanks to the success of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"--a song chronicling the 1975 sinking of a giant ore carrier in Lake Superior and surely one of the least likely radio hits of all time. Lightfoot created a haunting, peculiarly Canadian tale of the struggle of human will against a natural world that could be as savage as it was beautiful. Perhaps his most famous song, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" tends to overshadow Summertime Dream's other strengths. Though he shakes his fist at militarists on "Protocol," the disc also includes some of Lightfoot's most poignant songs of love gone wrong, including "I'm Not Supposed to Care" and "Race Among the Ruins." Pee Wee Charles's evocative pedal steel guitar playing makes "Spanish Moss" another highlight, even if it's hard to know exactly what Lightfoot means when he sings "I like you more than half as much as I love your Spanish moss." None of this is loud enough to rouse a sleeping babe thanks to Lightfoot's buttery crooning and the typically tasteful production by Lenny Waronker and Lightfoot himself. Tracklist: 1. Race Among the Ruins 2. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald 3. I’m Not Supposed to Care 4. I’d Do It Again 5. Never Too Close 6. Protocol 7. The House You Lived In 8. Summertime Dream 9.

title: The Complete Singles 1970-1980 Set
text: Editorial Reviews Gordon Lightfoot - TITLE: The Complete Singles 1970-1980 - Gordon Lightfoot is a genre unto himself. Neither pop nor folk nor country nor rock, his music is unvarnished, direct, a statement from one heart to another (as Lightfoot has stated, "I like to keep things simple. I don't like to make them complicated"). And this uncompromising stance has not only made him a legend (particularly in his native Canada, where he is a full-fledged icon), but also, somewhat paradoxically, brought him huge commercial success (which, ironically, has in turn caused some to discount his prodigious songwriting talent). For Gordon Lightfoot never set out to be a "popular" singer-songwriter. When he signed with Warner Bros. And began working with producer Lenny Waronker, Lightfoot thought of himself as an album artist, and, indeed, the Lightfoot-Waronker songwriter-producer partnership (with a brief period with Joe Wissert as producer) yielded nine charting albums-and that's not even counting the compilations-highlighted by a #1 slot for 1974's Sundown. But, starting with 1970's "If You Could Read My Mind," Lightfoot also reeled off 13 Pop chart singles including 4 Top Tenners during the '70s, as well as a host of Adult Contemporary and Country chart appearances, which is again testimony to his ability to transcend musical styles. Now, Real Gone Music has for the first time ever compiled the A and B-sides of ALL the singles Lightfoot recorded with Waronker and Wissert for the Reprise and Warner Bros. #labels, 34 sides in all featuring all the hits and hard-to-find B-sides. Lightfoot collectors will find much to feast on here; the single versions of "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and "Rainy Day People" make their CD debuts, as well as six other songs that appear in their mono single versions on CD for the first time (many of the early '70s singles were issued in both mono and stereo, sometimes one format for promo and another for commercial, "stock" 45s; we have used the "stock" version in all cases and gone with the one for which we had the best sources in those cases where commercial 45s were released in both stereo and mono). And, for the more casual Lightfoot fan, this 2-CD set provides an ideal, in-depth overview of the artist's "classic" period, peppered with one memorable tune after another. Remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision, with additional mastering and tape vetting by Aaron Kannowski, and annotated by folk rock guru Richie Unterberger, The Complete Singles 1970-1980 represents a key addition to Gordon Lightfoot canon and is just a wonderful listen from start to finish.

title: All Live
text: Editorial Reviews Product Description It is the musical highlight of every calendar year when Canadian Music legend, Gordon Lightfoot announces his run of concert dates at Toronto's storied Massey Hall.

Now, for the first time ever, Gordon has gone through the archives of live recordings from Massey Hall and has picked the finest performances recorded between 1998 - 2001. "The recordings have not been technically altered and are authentic live mixes," says Lightfoot of the album. Fans will hear each song exactly as it was performed that night - no over dubs, no mixing - ALL LIVE. "Gordon Lightfoot has performed at Massey Hall more than any other individual artist in the Halls 117 year history. The contribution that Mr. Lightfoot has made to Toronto is immense and it’s only fitting that he would share some of these moments with the rest of the world with the release of Massey Hall Moments – All Live .

text: Editorial Reviews Product Description Gordon'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! Amazon.com 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 1970s work, showing Lightfoot to be a thoughtful songwriter who was equally comfortable with personal love songs and more political fare. A much stronger folkie sensibility is on display here, which may be a revelation to those only familiar to his glossier folk-pop work, but a boon to his longtime followers. --Marc Greilsamer Editorial Reviews Product Description Gordon's rich voice and earthy folk-pop struck a chord with pop and country fans.

title: If You Could Read My Mind
text: Editorial Reviews Out-of-print in the US. Though he eventually came to be regarded as an MOR pop artist, Canadian singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot emerged from the 1960s folk world, and had as much in common with Ian & Sylvia, Eric Andersen, and Bob Dylan as he did with any '70s AM wonder. Though the title track of IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND was indeed his first massive pop hit, the album proves that Lightfoot was a serious, substantive song craftsman. "Minstrel of the Dawn" is a "Mr. Tambourine Man"-like affair that closes on a surprisingly sarcastic note. "Sit Down Young Stranger" and "Cobwebs & Dust" are the folkiest cuts, and each bears an incisive, poetic lyricism. The bluesy "Baby It's Alright" and a cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee" showcase Lightfoot's rootsier tendencies, while "Saturday Clothes" stands out by virtue of its Bacharach-like melody and dinner-jacket chord progression. While he wasn't as edgy as fellow Canuck Leonard Cohen, Lightfoot was clearly a formidable song-poet. Editorial Reviews Out-of-print in the US.

title: Gord's Gold
text: Editorial Reviews Product description Gordon Lightfoot - Gord's Gold - CD Amazon.com 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, you might float into a deep slumber. In 1975 Lightfoot rounded out this hits collection by revisiting nine of his 1960s compositions, including "I'm Not Sayin'/Ribbon of Darkness," "Song for a Winter's Night," "Early Morning Rain," and "Steel Rail Blues." Rather than maintain the direct approach of his early work, he adds the string arrangements that mark his 1970s work. The smashes "Sundown" and "If You Could Read My Mind" accompany outright gems such as "Cotton Jenny" and "Cold on the Shoulder," although this set predates "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." --Marc Greilsamer Editorial Reviews Product description Gordon Lightfoot - Gord's Gold - CD Amazon.com Warm, gentle, and welcoming, Gordon Lightfoot's folk-rock disarms even the most cynical listener.

title: Sundown
text: Editorial Reviews Product description Brand new; audio cd; sealed in shrink wrap; never played or used; excellent condition; #16 Amazon.com 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 engrained in the memory of anyone with an A.M. radio in the '70s, but 20 years later, it sounds suggestive, even bluesy. "Carefree Highway" perhaps excessively romanticizes the road, but less familiar tracks like "Watchman's Gone" and "Too Late for Prayin'" are convincing statements of Lightfoot's lyrical endurance. --Roy Francis Kasten Editorial Reviews Product description Brand new; audio cd; sealed in shrink wrap; never played or used; excellent condition; #16 Amazon.com 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.

title: Gordon Lightfoot - Complete Greatest Hits
text: Editorial Reviews Product Description The most comprehensive single CD collection by this treasured troubadour. These 1965 1987 United Artists, Reprise and Warner Bros. tracks include his Top 10 hits Sundown; If You Could Read My Mind; The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald; Carefree Highway , and 14 more! Amazon.com Though he rose from the ranks of journeyman '60s folksinger to become a potent and consistent '70s hit maker, Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot's stock in trade was as much hard-eyed, dispassionate observation as romance or poetic whimsy. Perhaps that's why his songs have been covered by everyone from Elvis (this set's "Early Morning Rain") to Dylan . If there's such a thing as an alpha-male folkie, Lightfoot certainly fits the bill. Spanning the tongue-in-cheek chauvinism of 1965's "For Lovin' Me" and the cheatin' ways of "Sundown" to more introspective fare like "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Beautiful," this 20-track collection presents a concise primer on Lightfoot's career and craft. After his career peaked with one of the most unlikely top five hits ever, the gloom-laden 1976 narrative "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," Lightfoot's production tailed off sharply, though this anthology's "Stay Loose" ('86) and "Restless" ('93) are testament to his enduring skills as a songwriter and performer. --Jerry McCulley Editorial Reviews Product Description The most comprehensive single CD collection by this treasured troubadour.

This is Gord's 13th Gold (or higher) album in Canada."Complete Greatest Hits", released April 2, has done very well in the stores from the start. It debuted at 165 on the Billboard album charts, and reached a high of 128 in the six weeks since its release. In Canada, it has charted as high as 21, having debuted at 38. The last Lightfoot album to chart was East Of Midnight, which peaked at 165 in the summer of 1986. Released worldwide, it is available on both CD and cassette, and finally brings together all of Lightfoot's biggest hits onto one album using the original studio recording of each song. The single exception is The Circle Is Small where the later (Billboard charting) recording is used. "Complete Greatest Hits" includes six songs recorded while Lightfoot was with United Artists, and 14 songs recorded for Warner Brothers. All tracks have been beautifully remastered, and this includes four that were not on the 1999 boxed set Songbook. The compilation was produced by Thane Tierney who also co-produced the 1999 Songbook boxed set with Lightfoot. The liner notes include a number of beautiful photos that are new to me.Bill Inglot, who did the remastering for the boxed set, has done the remastering for this release as well, and again makes it clear why he is considered one of the best in the business.
