Thank You Char, for helping seperating me from the wrong info
I''ll be hanged - I'd always heard the friend of Gord's was Sara's father, not the
same, OK, I stand corrected. You know us Scotsmen -McTHIS MaCthat - whats the difference - if the story fits, tha's good enough lol
Anyway, Tim I saw the beautiful choir you spoke of, and you're right - they are indeed beatiful singers, and a faithful cover is almost
always a nice thing to hear.
I cast my thumbs up
Nana Mouskourri's cover was beautiful , too - of SFAWN
You know, too, especially with someone who is as good as Sarah McLauchlan, the pace experimentation is one thing...She
paid her money to cover it that way....I don't care for it, you don't Tim, but there are many ppl out there that DO - my
26 yr old daughter is one of em. I'll let YOU tell her why Sara's...is not up to par to a purist Lightfoot fan ! lol......
We have to have to have a bit of an open mind about this.... wait OMG - tortures are working.I am starting to to
to tttto justify them aaaaaagggh ! lol.. .
You know, two cover artists of Lightfoot's I like and bought their cover albums as well are:Tony Rice sings GL, Hoyt Axton - great voice....bought that one....
To sing Lightfoot as a man, you need IMO a good wide ranged baritone, capapable of some upper bass and some higher baritone as well. Thats not so easy - as so many men are being emasculated these days lol .....j/k
For a man. a cover works better if you are posessed of a wide ranging baritone I think...,- or whatever Gord's 'prime voice' used to be called in register...he could hit some low ones... and his higher notes were pretty good too- an amazing range when he was younger, sadly we have to let 'em grow old as we do...
