I don't know - my impression of the album is that the writing and arranging are the best in years but the voice is different enough to be distracting. I'm not at all sure that the problem is with Gordon, though some might well be - I think it is in the recording of the voice. I find myself listening and saying "Man, you know who could really NAIL this stuff? Gordon Lightfoot!" I hope the problem is the recording or a temporary voice problem - he needs that bottom back in there...
