This is an absolutely wonderful rendition of this masterpiece ... I'm so glad to see a quality YouTube posting of this song true to the way Gordon Lightfoot recorded it, as opposed to other pop artists.

Beautiful rendition of the Lightfoot tune. The vocalist has such a haunting quality to her voice...

Paul, as usual is playing faithful to the songwriter as well as Red Shea's teachings..

OH MY GOD, SHE HAS A GREAT VOICE!

[rickcee]

She's good. The choir ain't so hot.

This is the way the song should be done! Full choir and an amazing soloist. Although Gordon does it great it is melodically better for a female voice (Sarah McLachlan) but this young lady nails it!!!! Is this available on MP3????

@Thevoiceofreasonful It's the sound guy's fault--not enough volume on the lead vocalist's microphone

[Thevoiceofreasonful]

If only someone would slap that fokker who is pinging the guitar and ruining the song..

Bravo!  Well-done. Had always thought Lightfoot's own tempo was way too fast for a great song.

Do you guys have a professional recording of this version? Let me know please. I love it!

[RivaJane]

Lovely! I've been searching youtube for the original recording by Lightfoot but all I can find is the crappy cover by Sarah McLauchlan, so this is rather refreshing! Beautifully sung and arranged!
