Hello all, currently I'm reading an Al Stewart biography book called "True Life Adventures of a Folk Rock Troubedour," written by Neville Judd. It is a superb book about Al Stewart's career, and has many details about his ascending career beginning in the late 1950's, in the nightclubs in London. Al rubbed elbows with ascending folk/rock stars such as Paul Simon, Jimmy Page, and Donovan. Al also was inspired by Bob Dylan.
I was wondering, is there a biography of Gordon Lightfoot available? I would love to read about Gord's life, his early years and the history of his albums, how his life influenced his songs.
