the watchman hit the nail right on the head. right now i'm listening to "Shadows" a lot, because i just bought it. but i have to agree about "Summer Side of Life". it's a really wonderful record with a alot of variety. what strikes me most about "SSOL" is the musicianship on it. Gord used several session players on the various trax. 1 of my favourite moments is that instrumental break during "Nous Vivons Ensemble". it's a very untypical Lightfoot sound. almost jazzy. every cut on this album is 1st class. & hey, what about "Talking In Your Sleep"? there is IMO no acceptable reason for keeping this gem off of either of the 2 "Gord's Golds", or "Complete Greatest Hits".
anyway, that's enough ranting & rating for now.
