Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for Gordon Lightfoot - Complete Greatest HitsFree Music Review: You need to go deeper than thisThe 5 stars are obligatory - after all this is a collection of great songs by one of the greatest artists of the last 50 years. But if you really love Gordon's music, or are thinking of buying this for someone who does, this is NOT the package for you. You must dig deeper. He's been too good for too long to settle for a greatest hits collection. (Besides, how will you know if they're really the greatest until you've heard the others?) My recommendation would be to buy the following: 1) "The United Artists Collection" - a 2-disk set including his complete first four albums from 1966-1968, before he achieved stardom outside Canada; 2) If You Could Read My Mind (1970); 3) Don Quixote (1972); 4) Sundown (1973); 5) Shadows (1982) and 6) Harmony (2004). Each of these includes numerous songs that qualify as "greatest" but are not included here. This list still leaves a lot on the table (notably his most famous song, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"), but you'll be off to a great start. Just decide right now that this is one artist who deserves a little more of your time and money to be fully appreciated. |
