Hi,

A new online vinyl magazine. I found the link at AA .

Amazing magazine, and it's free for download.

This should be of interest to forum members .

is not dissimilar to my opinion of Bob

equal in this regard.Add on Joni Mitchell,
Leonard Cohen,and Joan Baez,and you
may find yourself surrounded by five of
the most influential poet/songwriters in
our lifetime.'

Neil Young Live At Massey Hall.
Yeah Adrian!I agree.Five of the most
influential singer/songwriters.But you forgot
someone who's better than all of them....Phil Ochs.

How can one miss one of the greatest Canadian singers : Gordon Lightfoot?

Have any of you heard his (original) version of "if you could read my mind"?

Hi,

Lightfoot is one of my favourites,and though Ajay thinks otherwise I feel that his version of "Changes" is the best.

Have any of you heard his (original) version of "if you could read my mind"?

From the same album. A lovley lullaby.My childern loved this song when I used to play it way back then.

I have all his albums till the 1983 album Salute on vinyl.

I first heard Lightfoot at a friends place back in 1974,been a fan ever since.The song Sundown was a big hit back then.

Sadly his new albums are not that good.

@Rajiv--'Lightfoot is one of my favourites,and though Ajay thinks otherwise I feel that his version of "Changes" is the best.'

Fortunately both are available on You Tube and we can all judge for ourselves!
Personally I feel Gord is rushing through the song and all the sincerity,depth and experience of life fully lived is gone.
But everytime I hear Phil sing 'Changes' I feel this is his song and no other singer would ever be able to do it right.

Pony Man and Sit Down Young Stranger are indeed very nice!
I think I'll get myself a Best of Gordon Lightfoot CD at least.

@ajay... look for his "gord's gold vol 1&2"

between these two discs you get your hands on all his great stuff!
