If I were to build a Mt. Rushmore of Canadian musicians, I would have to pick Neil Young, Rush & Gordon Lightfoot (sorry Bryan Adams, Triumph, April Wine, etc.) Gordon Lightfoot is a cool dude. In college, I bought a used copy of Gord's Gold in a dollar bin. After going away one weekend, someone stole my copy. The secret society of Gord fans exists! I think I saw him perform in Colorado, but I'm not really sure. he looked like him, and sang his songs, but I walked in late and randomly sat at the bar. In Aspen, many people look like Gord.
To me, "Sundown" is a classic 70's song. Smooth guitar, and great lyrics that really fit the era: "I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans/She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean." Good stuff Gord.
