Description of Gordon Lightfoot - Complete Greatest Hits:
Though he rose from the ranks of journeyman '60s folksinger to become a potent and consistent '70s hit maker, Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot's stock in trade was as much hard-eyed, dispassionate observation as romance or poetic whimsy. Perhaps that's why his songs have been covered by everyone from Elvis (this set's "Early Morning Rain") to Dylan. If there's such a thing as an alpha-male folkie, Lightfoot certainly fits the bill. Spanning the tongue-in-cheek chauvinism of 1965's "For Lovin' Me" and the cheatin' ways of "Sundown" to more introspective fare like "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Beautiful," this 20-track collection presents a concise primer on Lightfoot's career and craft. After his career peaked with one of the most unlikely top five hits ever, the gloom-laden 1976 narrative "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," Lightfoot's production tailed off sharply, though this anthology's "Stay Loose" ('86) and "Restless" ('93) are testament to his enduring skills as a songwriter and performer. --Jerry McCulley
Gordon Lightfoot - Complete Greatest Hits Reviews:
Truly A Treasure! 
2009-11-19 - As I began listening to this cd, I heard so many wonderful songs that had I never purchased this, I would have missed out on, besides all the great treasures of classic Gordon Lightfoot magic! I highly recommend this cd, as it is one of my favorites!
Gordon Lightfoot "Complete Greatest Hits" - "Contains 20 Ultimate Classics" = An Excellent Compilation CD!!!!!!
2009-10-26 - This is the "Ultimate Greatest Hits" CD from Gordon Lightfoot. You get all his classic hits, and more, all on one CD, plus you get a track by track history of every song included. This informaion includes the details of the "Wreak of the Edmund Fitzgerald" that happened in Lake Superior, on October 10, 1975. Gordon gives a very good tribute to this ship and 29 crew members who died, in his hit song "The Wreak of the Edmund Fitzgerald", which is included in this CD.
Other top 10 Smash hits include:
Sundown
If You Could Read my Mind
Carefree Highway
Gordon Lightfoot is from Ontario, Canada. I consider him to be the "King of Great Lakes Folk Rock".
This is "Ultimate" CD to have by Gordon Lightfoot. It's all very good smooth music, full of great stories. Gordon tells excellent stories through his songs. Thanks!!!
We Love This CD!
2009-10-05 - While there will always be some people that think there should be other songs on this CD, we love it! Sure, there might be someone's favorite song missing, but this CD has pretty much ALL his greatest hits. They are nicely arranged in a pleasing-to-listen to order and very nicely remastered with excellent sound. If you only want to buy one CD or start with a "first one" from Gordon Lightfoot---this would be it! Great from start to finish!
