About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

This double CD contains all four of the Toronto singer/songwriter's '60s studio albums (the live LP Sunday Concert, not included here, was also released in the '60s). On these records, his resonant vocals, lyrical ambition, and melodic strengths produced as close a rival to Bob Dylan as Canada ever fashioned during that decade, and foreshadowed work by other major Canadian singer/songwriters of the late '60s, such as Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Leonard Cohen. "Early Mornin' Rain" (covered by fellow Canadian folkies Ian & Sylvia), the folk-rock protest number "Black Day in July," the epic "Canadian Railroad Trilogy," and his cover of Ewan McColl's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" are all present, and are among the most popular tracks Lightfoot has issued during his long career. Featuring both acoustic and folk-rock recordings, this neatly bundles Lightfoot's early work into a listenable and fairly inexpensive package. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

June 30, 2008: This is a good collection of early Lightfoot. I think it would have been better whittled down to one CD. (I found myself checking the track listing to see how many more songs there were.) The production is that 60s folk sound that easily drifts into blandness. Lightfoot re-recorded some of the songs for his first Gord's Gold package. Still, for the price, if you are interested in him, this is a can't miss.
