Our Take

Gordon Lightfoot's Songbook is a delightful stroll down memory lane, transporting listeners to a simpler time when folk music reigned supreme. This album is a collection of Lightfoot's greatest hits, beautifully remastered and expertly curated to showcase the singer-songwriter's undeniable talent and enduring legacy.

From the haunting melancholy of "If You Could Read My Mind" to the upbeat folk-rock vibes of "Sundown," each track on Songbook is a testament to Lightfoot's songwriting prowess and heartfelt delivery. His distinctive voice, paired with intricate guitar melodies, creates a sonic landscape that is both calming and captivating.

One standout track on the album is "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," a haunting ballad that tells the tragic true story of the sinking of a Great Lakes freighter. Lightfoot's storytelling abilities shine brightly on this track, drawing listeners in with his vivid imagery and emotive vocals.

Overall, Songbook is a must-listen for fans of folk music and classic songwriting. Gordon Lightfoot's timeless songs have stood the test of time, and this album is a perfect reminder of why his music continues to resonate with audiences around the world. So grab a cup of tea, cosy up by the fire, and let Gordon Lightfoot serenade you with his beautiful melodies. You won't be disappointed.
