Free Music Review: A Solid 4 1/2 from a Mature Artist.
Hit: 4 Stars
With this album and Don Quixote, Gordon Lightfoot approaches the zenith of his songwriting, fully achieved in Sundown and Cold on the Shoulder. As others have said, there are many classics here -- some known and others not so much. While "Summer Side of Life" and "Cotton Jenny" are justly well known, there are other, lesser known songs here that make my jaw drop open whenever I hear them: "Talking in Your Sleep," "Go My Way," "Miguel" among them.
This CD is also interesting in Lightfoot's canon because of its decidedly Canadian and yet country sound that is, in a subtle way, unlike anything else he's done. I also like the country vocal choir employed periodically throughout and used to great effect.
I do have quibbles though: I think the second half of the CD is just not as strong as the first half. There, I said it. Having said this, I must add that a Lightfoot album with a couple of lesser songs on it ("Cabaret" "Love and Maple Syrup") is still worlds better than 99% of what's out there.
Finally, I agree with some other reviewers: If you like Lightfoot, you must own this. Forget the compilations. I've been listening to the CD (and before it, this album on vinyl) for 30 years now. It is great music, timeless music.
