Over three days in September 1968, Lightfoot recorded his fourth album, Back Here On Earth, in Nashville. After John Simon's preciosity, this was a return to Lightfoot essentials. "Everything was getting so electric and headsy, "recalls Red Shea, "so Gord said,
'Why dont we do the exact opposite? Just three pieces acoustic.'That's probably why he called it Back here on earth."
