Good thread, Anthony. Also between IYCRMM and DQ were Summer Side Of Life and Old Dan's Records. I like Gord's singing best from ODR to Shadows, but especially on Sundown. Before these albums, I think his singing was compromised by less-than-perfect production. And after them, what it lost through ageing and long-term consequences of smoking and drinking has been balanced by improvisation and sheer effort.
