Free Music Review: The pure Lightfoot
Hit: 5 Stars
When I was in grade school I had a teacher who would bring in his guitar from time to time and start strumming Gordon Lightfoot songs, such as "Early Morning Rain". When the 1970's arrived Lightfoot issued his biggest hits like "Sundown", "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Edmund Fitzgerald", but his 1960's UA collection here is what's best and most pure about his music.
One can see Gord travelling across Canada with a guitar slung around his shoulder, singing about steel rails, majestic mountains, the fleeting loves of a roving musician and so on. When I first heard the original version of "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" it sounded much folkier and less polished than the Gord's Gold reissue I was more familiar with. Yet once I heard the original version several times I was captured by it.
There are many great nuggets here. "If I Could" and "The Way I Feel" have a brooding wistfulness to them, and there's no better music to listen to when driving through Northern Ontario than songs like "Steel Rail Blues" and "Ribbon of Darkness". "Go Go Round" and "For Lovin' Me" makes me think of Toronto's Yonge St. in those heady days of the late 60's when the music scene here was so vibrant.
For those only familiar with Gord's greatest hits of the 1970's, this is a worthwhile journey into the music that made him a big name in Canada before that.
United Artists Collection [2 CD Set] Poster
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 GreilsamerCountry Music CDs
