This was just an interaction I found funny. I live in Colorado, but I was on the road and stopped in Joplin, Missouri, to pick up the new CD. I went into a major CD store and after looking around with no success, I asked a fellow working there if they had the new Gordon Lightfoot CD... to which he replied, "Gordon Lightfoot? I thought he was dead!" I guess the irony of it is that this "Harmony" CD is truly one of the better albums start to finish that I have heard from anybody in awhile. Incredibly deeply written, very nicely produced, especially when you consider the circumstances. Lots of "old-timers" have had career rejuvinations in the past several years, I hope this album does that for Gord... for it is truly deserving.
