Don Quixote is full of great songs and very well produced. The only trouble with it is that each time you listen to it you want to hear it over again. Some really wonderful songs. It would be hard to list a favorite song out of Beautiful, Looking at the Rain, Alberta Bound, Ordinary Man, Christian Island, Don Quixote and the all the rest even the cover of Susan's Floor is wonderful.
While I usually think of Gordon songs as being more on the sad and reflective side.
DQ has two of what I think are the happiest Gordon songs Alberta Bound and a song that just can't help but make you smile Brave Mountaineers. The guitar work on all the tracks is exceptional... dare i say it I think it could almost work as an instrumental album also.

Sundown also is wonderful. I love it Sundown, Carefree Highway, Seven Island Suite, but to me the overlooked gem on it is Too Late for Praying '. Too Late for Praying always gets to me. For me it probably ranks as my #2 Gord song right behind IYCRMM
