"All songs written by Gordon Lightfoot," to be sure. Lightfoot's 20th album mainly features a small bass/drums ensemble accompaniment (with Red Shea and Terry Clements on lead guitar) for a set of 11 titles. As the project was part and parcel of Lightfoot's recovery from a frightening health ordeal, it should be respected as a triumph...

If Gordon had dyed his hair and taken a short course at the local car wash--you think he would have lasted a week?--he might have found a new career as Jim Croce II. Instead, he scored one of his periodic hit singles, thus securing his status as a weird new kind of purist: uncompromising proponent of commercial folk music. Two songs about the lure of the sea and one about urban despair go down as easy as the usual plaints about female perfidy. Chad lives?

His production's lazy,his voice ragged, and his first new songs since 1986 quite ordinary:One hook comes from an American soap opera, another from a Swedishart film. Waiting For You might thrive only in Canada, where radio islegally bound to feature homegrown produce. C

One walks into Gordon Lightfoot's albums with shaded eyes, waiting to catch him finally running out of the melodies around which he builds his simple, pleasant songs. He's been doing the same wonderful things for so long, with such a large following, that it must seem unnecessary for him to put great effort into his records. Yet his meticulously constructed tunes and arrangements never fail to lift you from the doldrums...

No matter how intense he looks on the cover photograph, Gordon Lightfoot is a wonderful name for Gordon Lightfoot. His voice sounds so much like a guitar that syllables are frequently heard just as notes, and the purity of the voice conspires with over-refined production to divert attention from lyrics: the ear tends to skim them, following a phrase but not a sentence...

Gordon Lightfoot may never seem to be doing anything all that unusual?his melodies tend to be simple, his subjects seldom original, his voice is nice enough but rarely lends itself to anything fancy, and in fact the whole genre he works in is anything but new. But Lightfoot, unlike virtually all other folk artists who started out successful in the early Sixties, has managed to mellow so gracefully (and without any need for a current comeback, or any gratuitous shots at rock and roll) that he's ...

Gordon Lightfoot's ninth album, his fourth for Reprise, is more and better of same: middle-of-the-road, homogenized folk rock that is sumptuously pleasant, but lacking the indelible stamp of emotional veracity that would make it irresistible. Lightfoot is certainly an important talent, whose prolific output of good songs is continuously impressive. Yet the overall impression he conveys is one of glibness...

As a rock star. Gordon Lightfoot has always been a cross between an Ambassador Scotch ad and Martin Mull without humor. Even on his interesting early albums, you feel he doesn't really know why he's singing because his music has no urgency. At his best. Lightfoot's a stodgy romantic, and his perfectly modulated baritone, while invariably pleasant, isn't exactly the most expressive vocal tool in the world. The man is just too tasteful ever to be passionate.Endless Wire...

Sundown is a fine album which weaves conventional folk and pop strands into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. The polish of Lightfoot's singing has tended in the past to undermine the seriousness of his songs, inviting the listener to appreciate his records mainly as aural artifacts rather than explore their contents. But most of Sundown's 12 songs are so evocative that they prohibit such easy perusal.Lightfoot's singing is almost crooning?a style which under-states and redeems...
