Wow.Well I Know for a fact that Gord was going thru some really difficult stuff during the late '70's."Endless Wire" was over-produced in the studio.There is no question about that.
Pee Wee Charles did play some sick pedal steel guitar though.I'm sorry,but that version of "The Circle Is Small"is so sappy and uninspiring to me.
"Daylight Katy" is a great song,but they really coated it up way too much.
"Cold On The Shoulder" has some awesome songs on it but it has some weak and mundane stuff too.
I'd stay away from "May I"from "Did She Mantion My Name"(although i love the banjo/guitar thing at the end).That album is great regardless.
"East Of Midnight" has a few duds on it as well.
David Foster helped Gord produce it and brought in a band of very talented yet very commercial session musicians.Aside from Gords' drummer Barry Keane,
most of the album had the Lightfoot Band sitting on the sidelines.
