Mature? On a first LP? I know some artists are geniuses but almost none of them are that mature. Gord is of course but only the truly great come across that way. What kind of a reviewer uses a child-like statement like,"Not issuing any albums whatsoever."? That's like a kid in school saying,"Everybody in school is against me". If this guy passed English Lit. not to mention Journalism school,someone should close down either institutiion! Doesn't this fool know that that corporate end of a label are the one's who put out (or is that,shove down your throat,in some cases)Greatest hits collections? We sure know UA never missed the opportunity! Let's see,Best Of Gordon Lightfoot-Classic Lightfoot:Best Of Vol.2,with some of the same songs from 1-The Very Best Of G.L. (1975)-and of course the 1993 CD collection. 37 greatest hits collections? Unless he's talking on a world-wide scale,I don't see how that's possible. Lastly...An artist performing the same songs over and over...BOY! What a revalation that was! Has this man ever seen any concerts in his life at all? Even symphony orchestras play the same songs over and over! I know that I really shouldn't waste my time worrying about what I just read or who wrote it,but whoever gave this guy a license to review must really be named,"Don Quixote!" (or the name of Jim Carrey's character in Dumb and Dumber.
Borderstone,outta here and Alberta Bound!
