This is Lightfoot
Beskrivning:Gordon Lightfoot var en kanadensisk singer/songwriter som rörde sig mellan rock- och folkmusik. Den här dubbel-LP:n är en samlingsvolym, med hans debut-album "Lightfoot!" från 1966 på LP 1 och på LP 2 en liveinspelning från Massey Hall i Toronto 1969, tidigare utgiven som "Sunday Concert". Utvikningskonvolut med engelsk o tysk text.
"Lightfoot was already 27 at the time of his solo debut, which might have accounted in part for the unusually fully developed maturity and confidence on this recording, in both his songwriting and vocals. Contains some of his best compositions, including "Early Mornin' Rain," "I'm Not Sayin'," "The Way I Feel," "Lovin' Me," and "Ribbon of Darkness." At this point, Lightfoot was still including some covers in his repertoire, and he handles numbers by Phil Ochs ("Changes"), Ewan McColl ("The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"), and Hamilton Camp ("Pride of Man") well. The whole album is included on The United Artists Collection." (Richie Unterberger, allmusic.com)
"Recorded at a March 1969 concert in Toronto, Sunday Concert holds more interest than the usual live album because about half of the songs are Gordon Lightfoot compositions that had not been previously recorded in the studio. Accompanied by Red Shea on lead guitar and Rick Haynes on bass, he also mixed old favorites like "I'm Not Sayin'" and "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" with the new material on this set, which has good (though not outstanding) sound. These then-new songs aren't among his classics, but are up to the general high standard of his '60s work, with the socially conscious "The Lost Children" and the poetic "Leaves of Grass" standing out as lyrical highlights."
