FANTASTIC!!! For those who may not have Itunes or a broadband connection for downloading...the three tracks on the preview EP are very, very good! Whets my appetite for the full CD in May!! Thanks To GJC for the head's up on the availability through iTunes.
River of Light is a poignant little tribute to Gord's fondness for canoeing and, given his health problems, there are some lyrics that will "moisten your eyes" (to use DMD's terminology).
Flyin' Blind tells the story of Jessie Joe's advice not to go "to the place with the snow and the ice." I need ya now, Jessie Joe, cause I'm flyin' blind tonight.
Inspiration Lady is, as you might expect, another of Gord's great love ballads; a musical tribute to Elizabeth? Most likely. "She's my Inspiration Lady. Inspiration everywhere. She's my situation every day."
All three tunes are solid and Gord's voice is stronger on at least two of the three than on any of the tracks on WFY or APPT.
