Timeless,
By A Customer
This review is from: If You Could Read My Mind (Audio CD)
Released in 1970, Gordon Lightfoot's first album after signing with Reprise remains one of his most enduring. Retitled from Sit Down Young Stranger after "If You Could Read My Mind" became a hit, the album reveals a songwriter of increasing depth and maturity. The title track, which to me remains the most powerful "breakup song" I've ever heard, is a showpiece, of course--but this is an album filled with showpieces. Featuring the beautiful ensemble playing of Red Shea on lead guitar and Rick Haynes on bass, the album also features guest appearances by Ry Cooder and John Sebastian, and some very tasteful, unobtrusive string arrangements (on "Minstrel of the Dawn," for example, the strings are scored by Randy Newman). The album is beautifully produced by Lenny Waronker and Joe Wissert--guitars are crisp and rich, the vocals have presence and depth. You'll find a terrific cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee" on this CD: Lightfoot doesn't do many covers, but, when he does, he sings them like he wrote them. Other highlights include "Minstrel of the Dawn," "Sit Down Young Stranger," "The Pony Man," and...oh heck--the whole album is just one long highlight! Buy it!

Breakup Makeup,
This review is from: If You Could Read My Mind (Audio CD)
My girlfriend broke up with me; forget about flowers, too corney. So sending herthis Gordon Lightfoot cd maybe got her thinking about what was on my mind about our breakup. It was about 3 days later she called me. Something she said she would never do. Well the next day we went out for lunch. And lived happy the rest of our days. I might add she's 84 years old and I'm 88.

So long ago ...,
This review is from: If You Could Read My Mind (Audio CD)
It'been a very long time ago that I first heard this song.Lately my girlfriend and I have parted. She just loved Gordon Lightfoot. So I bought the cd from Amazon and mailed it to her. After a couple of days she phoned me and coud'nt stop crying We decided to meet for lunch the next day. As we sat at our table we both began to cry together. It felt wonderfull. And I might say it was very difficult to order a salad or even a bowl of soup. luv from Danny
