 Written on May 1, 2003 Summary: Should have had original studio cuts The purpose of buying a greatest hits collection is to get a representative assortment of songs without having to buy a large quantity of CDs. On an album entitled Gord's Gold II, we have a right to expect the original studio cuts. A live album should have been released separately. The live versions of High & Dry, All the Lovely Ladies and others just don't make the grade.  Written on April 4, 2003 Summary: Maybe not for Purists but a good CD nonetheless There has been a lot of complaining about many of the songs on this re-recorded versions of earlier hits. I cannot say that I particularly care that much. As a novice Lightfoot listener, I can only say that to me the songs are still engaging and most enjoyable. For those who only know Lightfoot via 2 or 3 hit songs, this is a good exposure to his work. Purists will quibble about the newer version, but they need to remember that an artist is entitled to re-interpret his own work. It is not as though this music is engraved in stone, for crying out lot. My own field of expertise is classical music, and could cite more examples than one could stand of artists re-recording works more than once. Adrian Boult, for example, premiered Gustav Holst's work "The Planets," and first recorded portions of the work in 1917. He then proceeded to record "The Planets" at least another 6 times over the next 60 years, the last recording coming in 1978 when Boult was nearing 90. The result is a wonderfully nuanced recording reflecting a lifetime's experience. What is the point of this rambling digression? Music is not static. An artist should not be castigated for re-exploring earlier works, just because that is what you remember from when you were younger. Enjoy the earlier recordings for what they are, but enjoy the newer recordings on their own merits. Since I am not intimately familiar with Lightfoot's recordings, I am not burdened by preconceived notions of how the various songs should sound. Just enjoy the CD for what it is. Written on November 29, 2001 Summary: Gordon LightMusic Gordon Lightfoot is a fantastic storyteller,soft vocals,and not much production on most of the cuts.My personal favorite's,"Endless Wire,"(I love the chorus.Gordon uses his vocals as a great Instrument)"Make Way."(the stopping and starting of the guitar is so cool.Its very different from most of the songs)and "Ghost of Cape Horn." I'm not a huge fan of this artist,but always enjoyed his music.I know the hits,so this collection was a wonderfull sample of Gordon's music over the years.  Written on October 23, 2001 Summary: More stars folks I won't belabor this argument that I have with the ratings this cd has been given here. Three to four stars at least. Play "The Pony Man" for your kids. There are five or six excellent songs on here that just didn't make the early 80's radio cut when the powers that be took the first steps towards the hideous garrrbage that rules today. Written on July 28, 2001 Summary: Well worth a listen Recorded live on the floor, this is a fine album from Lightfoot and the long-time members of the Lightfoot band. Yes, the tracks do sound different than the studio versions fans have come to love over the years. But, if you enjoy the original version of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald that much, why not buy Summertime Dream? It's one of the best albums Lightfoot has produced in his career. Since Gord has but one live album to his credit, Sunday Concert from more than 30 years ago, I like to think of Volume II as my opportunity to listen to Gord as if he's performing on stage. Unfortunately, there's no tracks from a few of his latter albums including Salute ('Whispers of the North' is a contender) and East of Midnight ('I'll Tag Along' and the title track are both strong cuts). 'If it Should Please You' is a nice treat, but another one or two new tracks wouldn't have hurt. Regardless, here's a chance to hear some of Gord's songs in a different way. Check it out. |
