this album brings back many memories of younger days when everything seemed so important. Looking at the rain was my go to down and out moment song. Somehow it always made me feel better . Not a bad song on this album
Just another classic

Lightfoot recorded so many great albums, that some got lost in the shuffle; he wrote great songs so easily, that it must have gotten boring (not really) ; but the title song; + "Second Cup of coffee" and a few others here are drop-dead stuff--he looks pretty cool on the cover too...buy this and ALL his other music--
Terrific Classic Gordon Lightfoot

I was thinking about the song Christian Islands (Georgian Bay) and thining about hearing Gordon Lightfoot in concert in the early 70s. Someone gave me this album as a gift when I was 17 and I have no idea what ever happened to the LP - so I found it here. This is such classic Lightfoot - I just melt listening to it.

This is signiture Gordon. I'm so glad iTunes has it available for purchase. I don't think it's very mainstream, but for those who are looking for lesser-known Gordon Lightfoot songs, this is a great purchase. "Don Quixote" and "Ode to Big Blue" are very whimsical, very classic folk. On this album, does what he does best: tells tales through his music. His guitar tone never ceases to amaze me - a haunting and beautiful sound that harks back to the early days of North American folk.
