About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Following the success of Sundown, Gordon Lightfoot continued his success by releasing a greatest-hits compilation. A double album (now a single CD), it contained the most popular songs from his Warner Bros. years on disc two, and he re-recorded many of his early songs for side one of record one. Although not as good, perhaps, as the originals, this did bring them up to date with his current sound style. Just about all the favorites are here (except "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," which hadn't been recorded yet when this set was put together and appears on Lightfoot's second volume of Gord's Gold), making this a good general overview of a strong talent. When Warner transferred the double LP to CD, "Affair on 8th Avenue" was dropped from the program to make the set fit on a single disc. Randy Newman arranged the orchestration on "Minstrel of the Dawn," by the way. ~ James Chrispell & Steve Leggett, All Music Guide All Music Guide

You Never Want it to Endby DarthAzard13

November 12, 2009: Lightfoot is the most soulful singer of our lifetimes, hands down. This album collects all his better known early hits, as well as a number of songs you may not have heard of before. I highly recommend the CD to anyone who already likes his work (you will like it more), to anyone who likes music from the 1970's (these are prime examples), and to anyone who considers themselves a romantic (you will be moved). Buy this CD!

I Also Recommend: Gettysburg, House of Flying Daggers, Abbey Road [Remastered].
