Songbook is a wonderful collection to have. It's a tad pricey but to get 88 good Lightfoot songs that span his career to-date...it is money well spent and you can't go wrong!
I also like East of Midnight. It, to me, is a different kind of Lightfoot. Sophisticated is the only word that comes to mind. I appreciate it when an artist is secure enough to take a chance and try something a little non-traditional for them in an apparent attempt to appeal to a broader audience. And if it doesn't work, they have the smarts to return to their original style. I have this album in my collection and am very glad I do. I play it often.
