Gordon Lightfoot - Complete Greatest Hits
Details
It's official! This is Gord's 13th Gold (or higher) album in Canada."Complete Greatest Hits", released April 2, has done very well in the stores from the start. It debuted at 165 on the Billboard album charts, and reached a high of 128 in the six weeks since its release. In Canada, it has charted as high as 21, having debuted at 38. The last Lightfoot album to chart was East Of Midnight, which peaked at 165 in the summer of 1986.
Released worldwide, it is available on both CD and cassette, and finally brings together all of Lightfoot's biggest hits onto one album using the original studio recording of each song. The single exception is The Circle Is Small where the later (Billboard charting) recording is used.
"Complete Greatest Hits" includes six songs recorded while Lightfoot was with United Artists, and 14 songs recorded for Warner Brothers. All tracks have been beautifully remastered, and this includes four that were not on the 1999 boxed set Songbook. The compilation was produced by Thane Tierney who also co-produced the 1999 Songbook boxed set with Lightfoot.
The liner notes include a number of beautiful photos that are new to me.Bill Inglot, who did the remastering for the boxed set, has done the remastering for this release as well, and again makes it clear why he is considered one of the best in the business.

Though he rose from the ranks of journeyman '60s folksinger to become a potent and consistent '70s hit maker, Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot's stock in trade was as much hard-eyed, dispassionate observation as romance or poetic whimsy. Perhaps that's why his songs have been covered by everyone from Elvis (this set's "Early Morning Rain") to Dylan. If there's such a thing as an alpha-male folkie, Lightfoot certainly fits the bill. Spanning the tongue-in-cheek chauvinism of 1965's "For Lovin' Me" and the cheatin' ways of "Sundown" to more introspective fare like "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Beautiful," this 20-track collection presents a concise primer on Lightfoot's career and craft. After his career peaked with one of the most unlikely top five hits ever, the gloom-laden 1976 narrative "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," Lightfoot's production tailed off sharply, though this anthology's "Stay Loose" ('86) and "Restless" ('93) are testament to his enduring skills as a songwriter and performer. --Jerry McCulley
