BigJ, I prefer earlier Lightfoot efforts. If You Could Read My Mind is a beautiful song on a beautiful disc, and all of Don Quixote is good, too. In fact, you can't really go wrong with Gord, but please don't stop listening to him until you have heard "The Way I Feel". Lots of fine songs from early in GL's career. For something even a little farther back, don't miss "Lightfoot!". Lots of great songs and Gord's voice is featured moreso thqan on any other disc, IMHO.
My personal favorites from these two early discs are Canadian Railroad Trilogy ( a "super" song), Song for a Winter's Night, Softly, Early Mornin' Rain, Sixteen Miles, and I'm not Sayin'. But they are all just grand . Happy listening!
