in trying to figure out which tracks David is on, according to Wayne's cool review, i understand that Bruce and David were both on the first track
or perhaps they both gave the lead a go, and then one recording was later chosen... in listening, i can't tell two from three guitars.. then again, sometimes i've heard a single guitarist play live, and it sounds like two or three to me!
" It was the fall of 1964. Lightfoot enters a downtown New York recording studio on a gloomy evening to begin work on his debut album. They choose a small room in the studio to record, thinking that the smaller room might capture the intimacy of Gordon accompanied only by two guitars and bass.
Rich Man's Spiritual is the first tune laid down on that night. It is the type of song Lightfoot enjoyed playing live in those days, going back to his days as one half of the Two Tones, when they would close their sets with Children Go Where I Send Thee, the traditional folk spiritual."
