Default Re: Salute And Booze

Certainly Salute marks a turning point in style. Overall, less acoustic. Much more tempo.

Sort of odd because I didn't care for it at first, as much as other material by Gord. But now ranks among my favorites! Especially Broken Dreams... great tune!

To be sure, while alcohol may be fuel (there are many types of fuel folks!) Lightfoot's genius isn't based on it... I'd suggest his genius shown through inspite of it! But that's just my take on things.
