I agree, this is just about his most over-looked record, I think because it came so quickly on the heels of 'Shadows'. 'Tattoo' is one of his most wonderful songs; and I love the whimsical 'Biscuit City'. A pretty solid album other than 'Whispers of the North', which is a cool title for a song, but the song itself doesn't stand up (IMHO).
Thanks Seahawk. I do like Whispers, but then for some reason I like the whole album, it just seems to flow. Maybe some Lightfoot purists don't care for the album because he dared to "rock" just a little. As Chuck says, Plug it in again, Gord.
