Brain, I've been listening to Gordon Lightfoot sense I heard him do "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" on the live TV Canada Day in 1967. I've been hooked ever sense and I've never heard ANYONE do his songs as good as him, until now.
I am a very "picky" listener to cover tunes.....I gotta say this is being added to my favorites list. EXTREMELY well done, man....just simply amazing. I would pay to see you play live.....and I play in a band for a living...lol.
@7761864 So youlive in San Diego,Did you know that Ingrid Croce (Jim's widow) has a resturant there called Croce's and they have live music there al lthe time?I'll bet she'ld love to hear you.After all Gordon was Jim's idol and I know you do a few of Jim's too.Maybe you could play thre sometime.
Awesome! My fav Gord tune! He doesn't play it in concert. But I can easily accept "If You Could Read My Mind" as a substitute. With the death of Terry the other day, we are hoping the tour will continue and the touring will continue...but we all know the end is near. Thanks again. I am cludoc and I video Gord as often as I can. Good Luck and hit the road man!!!
@7761864 My favorite Lightfoot song - one of the best original folk songs, Don't worry about "half the time I don't even know who I am." LOL funny comment. At least half the time you do tho'! That's even more time than one of our greatest icons, who rolled his way into NYC in 1961 with only the clothes on his back, a guitar and harmonica - "Blind Boy Grunt", "Lucky" Willbury, "zimmy", Bob Dylan, and so many other pseudonyms. I doubt that he ever knew who he was and is. Do any of us?
This is my absolute favourite Gordon Lightfoot song. You do a beautiful cover of this terribly sad song. Your vocals are so smooth, like GL. You are extremely talented.

Good job, Brian... this is another song off the album I had.

This is arguably the very best track on Gord's "Summer Side of Life" album, recorded late '70 and early '71 here in Nashville.
You've done a fantastic job on it.
