As far as I know, that is the answer. It was about the same time Bob Dylan went electric, and a lot of folk music fans didn't like it. Pete Seeger, had even said that he wanted to cut the cable from Dylan's guitar to his Amp.

So Lightfoot went like you said, closetcanadian, with full acoustic. He on the 12 string, Red on the 6 string, and Rick on Bass. So some thought he called the album for that reason, sort of coming back to earth. (reality) "Back Here On Earth." That has longtime been my favorite album.

Thats the way real good folk music should sound like...Jesse.
