IMHO, WFY is his second best album since Shadows. I give Harmony the edge over WFY. BTW, I wish he'd do "River of Light" in concert, and I asked him about it, but Gord says he has trouble remembering the order of the lyrics on that one. LOL

Back to WFY, Restless may be the best song he's written since the Shadows album -- it's my favorite --and it's 10 times better in concert than on the album, as long as dopey fans don't interrupt the last chord.

I think "Welcome to Try" has angry, hurtful lyrics, with notes too high for Gord's voice, and I hate hearing it. I think "Wild Strawberries" is ok, but awfully awkward and disjointed.

"I'd Rather Press On" is pure gold Gord, IMO. One of my favorites on the album. And straight into "Drink Your Glasses Empty," another great one. Anyway, I listen to WFY a lot, skipping "Welcome to Try"

I generally agree with the comments about APPT. When I first listened to the album, my three favorites were Drifters, Country Singer and Red Velvet. That says a lot when the covers surpassed most of the originals. Since then, I've moved the title cut above these two in my estimation, and Ringneck Loon has equalled them, but Yonge Street is horrible and Uncle Toad is a throwaway. Gord does "Country Singer" in concert a lot, and it's good, but it's also clear that his reason for doing so is the analogy to his own declining voice. I give APPT a listen every once in a while -- mainly due to the fact that Gord often has songs that sneak up on you after repeated listening to become favorites (including the entire East of Midnight album, which I hated at first, and now love) -- but nothing in APPT has grown much on me, except as noted above.
