Lovely ‘Canadian Railroad Trilogy’, which is one of my all-time favourites.

‘Song for a Winter’s Night’

I’ve always loved the pure voice of Nana Mouskouri and was recently playing an old album of hers.
I’d completely forgotten she sang a version of ‘Winter’s Night’ on it.
Completely different to...

Re: WALL STREET JOURNAL - August 2020

It’s good to see how GL constructs a song, as it was his songwriting that got me into his music.
We all know the songs which ‘do it’ for us and I have my very special ones.

Re: Favourite Song on "Solo" Album

I suppose my problem with this album are the lyrics and some of the music’s similarity to older songs.

GL’s lyrics were very deep and sometimes emotional in his ‘70s songs and that is what’s ...

Re: Gord's Songs About Summer.

I always thought ‘Summer Side of Life’ referenced Vietnam, in the same way Glen
Campbell’s ‘Galveston’ did.

Re: GORDON LIGHTFOOT

Gail, I’d forgotten how good ‘Sea of Tranquility’ is.

Re: You Create the Set List

I have just listened to the whole GC album on Spotify.
He also makes a good job of ‘If you could read my mind.’

I only knew Glen Campbell by the really popular songs.

My favourite song from the ‘Harmony’ CD is ‘Clouds of Loneliness’, but
