Title: A return to simpler tunes
Product review: It seemed as though the 1980s ran away with Gord. After a beautifully written/performed/produced "Shadows" was released, Lightfoot delved into other horizons. A tip of the hat must be given to someone who tries to expand themselves. The only problem was that 1983's "Salute" was too much of an over-the-top electric patchwork that didn't flow very well and 1986's "East of Midnight" was a jaw-dropping adult-contemporary nightmare.After having taken a break from the writing and producing for a spell, Gord returned in 1993 with what is possibly his best since "Dream Street Rose". "Waiting For You" has everything that made Lightfoot records of old so enjoyable. The songs are easy-going, listenable and singable. The music is instantly memorable and Terry Clements is up on his game on lead guitar, especially on the title track.Highlights include "Restless", "I'll Prove My Love", "Waiting For You" and "Drink Yer Glasses Empty".
