Editorial Reviews
CD Description
This re-release of Gordon Lightfoot's first greatest hits album, originally published in the mid-1970s, contains a medley of his first hit songs, "I'm Not Saying" and "Ribbon of Darkness" (the latter made famous by Marty Robbins), as well as many other '60s and early-'70s classics like "Early Morning Rain", the brooding "Sundown", and "If You Could Read My Mind". Lightfoot's sure way with a lyrical narrative, coupled with his appealingly diffident baritone voice, combines pop charm with artistic integrity, and these tracks sound as fresh today as when they were first recorded.
Customer Reviews
Little Gold Treasure
If you like, say, Glen Campbell, Boz Scaggs (a la 'We're all alone'), perhaps a bit of John Martyn - that sort of thing - possibly with a bit of blue grass guitar mixed with an almost norweigian skiffle type feel, then you will love this, actually even if you don't, you'll love this anyway. from the rolling moments of the first few bars right til the end, coupled with the everso slightly twangy, but heart warming (and very different) vocal, it is a gorgeous adventure into Gordon's world. Gord's Gold includes those songs that you know, but you don't, if you see what I mean - you'll have heard them over and over but never quite placed them (Early Morning Rain, Beautiful and the famous 'If You Could Read My Mind' (the track I particularly bought it for) and got hooked . . . try and it and see....I promise you'll be hooked too !
