Canadian Railroad Trilogy, is my favorite.
A Canadian legend for sure. My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert, in Edmonton, last November, just prior to his 84th birthday. He was still full of wit and put on a great show. RIP Mr. Lightfoot.
Who cares? You're a fuckin piece of work... I hit "show ignored content" and instant regret.

A tribute to Gordon Lightfoot released by The Guess Who in 1968!
Absolute genius 'story teller'.
I was fortunate to see him back in the '70s at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. If you've never been to "The Greek", it's an outdoor venue surrounded by trees in the Griffith Park area of Los Angeles and the perfect place for a Gordon Lightfoot concert.

I get chills every time I here him sing The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. 
I consider him along the same lines/genre as Kris Kristofferson.
Right back at ya self centered goof.

Me too. It’s a masterpiece.

He wrote and sang songs you could sit back and listen to and relax . RIP Gordon!
Real shame broadcast radio no longer plays these treasures.
Heres a good bit of them

I heard the news earlier today. A damn shame losing such a talent. He's one of my all-time faves. RIP, Gordon. I shall hoist a glass of Kentucky's finest in your honor out in the shop tonight while I put you on the playlist and spin a wrench or two.
Thanks for posting Ed, the way he explained Gord was like you said, 100% bang on. He dissected and understood Gords writing/playing etc where as much as I enjoyed it, I just took it for granted.
Thanks again
Thanks again

that's not factory
The Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point still rings that ship's bell for the crew and once for all sailors lost in the Great Lakes. Perhaps they ring it a thirty-first time this year? Godspeed Mr. Lightfoot...
