I take it you mean by "but not his voice"
that you heard a cover version??
Checking the fount of all Lightfoot knowledge where there is a reasonably complete list of cover versions at:-http://www.lightfoot.ca/covers.htm
I see that there are two covers listed by Wayne Francis of
Bend In The Water
the first is by some weird Californian hick singer (Derek Kidd by name)-I am not kidding
who foisted/donated a version for an earlier (internet) tribute CD
the second could be the version you heard
HARRY MANX
Bend In The Water
