Title: Lightfoot's Best
Review: I agree with the previous reviewer who states that this may very well be the best Lightfoot cut ever. In my mind, the music and instrumentation (guitar, banjo, autoharp, dobro, pedal steel) are the very soul of Gordon Lightfoot: Country folk tunes about the day-to-day thoughts and feelings we all experience. Love, travel, "chilling out", and good-old fashioned clean fun. Yup, some reviewers found the album boring: It is supposed to mellow the listener out! The proof of this is in the lyrics to the classic "Hi'way Songs": "When I walk the hills so high, around the town where I was born; New York seems so far away, though I was there just yesterday." Buy this CD and take a trip back to when "...picking with a friend 'till dawn, singing all those hi'way songs." was one of the most exciting and meaningful things one could do.
Is the review positive or negative?
