Free Music Notes for Gordon Lightfoot - Complete Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Gold Gord
Hit: 5 Stars
It certainly contains all the hits you will have heard on the radio over the years, as well as quite a few you won't have. The problem with 'Greatest Hits' collections, of course, is that 'greatest' and 'hit' are very often discrete terms. To Lightfoot's credit, his hits are in fact more often great than not. In my particular household, 'Approaching Lavender' is his greatest hit, and it isn't here. Just goes to show you, I guess. With beauties like 'Carefree Highway' and 'If You Could Read My Mind' here, though, that isn't really a complaint. It's just wishful thinking.Free Music Review: Gordon the Great
Hit: 5 Stars
I never knew how much I loved Gordon Lightfoot or how prolific he was until I heard this cd. Usually even "greatest hits cd's" have throwaway songs but I have to say, every single song on here is a winner.
There are songs on here that never quite got the airplay as "Sundown" or "If you Could Read My Mind", and I was astonished at how great they are. I can (and do) play this cd over and over. The joy his music has given me immeasurable. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't like his music; it really transcends gender and age.
Free Music Review: grew up on gordon
Hit: 5 Stars
I grew up listening to gordon lightfoot. my father taught himself to play guitar and sing by playing and singing gordon lightfoot songs. I know almost every single song he ever recorded, and love all of them. this CD is one of my favorites, and I have it on my ipod and listen to it quite often. I am 22 years old, born in 1985 and I am a huge gordon lightfoot fan. my sister and I will listen to it over and over perfectly content- she is a year and a half older than me. I may be one of his youngest fans, but I love him!Free Music Review: Comprehensive, must-have intro to Lightfoot
Hit: 5 Stars
My enjoyment of this CD has been immense. Its content spans virtually Lightfoot's entire career. Admittedly, the more recent songs didn't quite hit the mark for me, but the rest of the album more than compensated. Lightfoot's music pulsates with gently fragrant melodies and rich harmonies, and is complimented by a down-to-earth quality to the subjects and feelings he addresses in his lyrics. This is not just music to tap your toes to: This is music to become involved in. It is the stuff of life. Folk music for real folks.Free Music Review: Forgotten how beautiful story telling can be
Hit: 5 Stars
Gordon Lightfoot is a true classic. His music and voice are timeless. When you really listen to the words, and the emphasis he gives them, it touches something deep inside. The song "Beautiful" is so simple yet pure. And the Edmund Fitzgerald tribute ... incredible story telling but the music evokes a storm and the ensuing tragedy. He hits a homerun with every song on this CD.
And it's so nice to hear a CD that has not been "digitally remastered". To me that means nothing but a ruined memory.
