Complete Greatest Hits

Search: Race Among The Ruins
by: Gordon Lightfoot

Release Date May 27, 2002
There is nothing I can add to what has been said before.
I will admit that while I listened to radio 2 in the 70's-thanks mum & dad!- before I moved towards Joy Division & The Banshees I listened to your choice of music and I am extremely grateful for it.
"Daylight Katy" and "Sundown" are songs that stick with me now in middle-age as when I was young.
Bob Dylan was an icon for a generation but Mr Lightfoot caught my imagination when I was a nipper-listen to "If You Could Read My Mind" and tell me that Dylan wrote anything better and I would beg to differ....

Gord's Gold, Vol. 2

Search: Race Among The Ruins
by: Gordon Lightfoot

Release Date October 25, 1990
Worth it for one track - the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

The moody, ethereally sad song about the ship that was lost with all hands while carrying iron ore across the Great Lakes is an epic. The clinging sadness is reminiscent of other major musical poems like June Tabor's Heroes of Suvla.

GL is one of Canada's stars - like Neil Young and Leonard Cohen - but unlike them has in some respects been eclipsed by the more recent Bryan Adams and Ms Dion. He deserves to be "rediscovered" especially in the light of the newer wave of singer songwriters.... after all, GL did blaze a trail in folky rock.
