Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - Harmony- most like which classic album?

I have it ranked right up there with his classics of the 70s. Perhaps it most compares to....Don Quixote??? Both are very "folky" and play heavily on Canadian/northern clime themes and (lost) love. It is still not the Gord vocal quality of his early years, but it is a better quality than we've heard in many, many years. The writing is superb. There's not a bad cut on the whole album/CD. (Of course, "bad" in terms of Gord means weak, as opposed to not good. All of the tracks here are very solid and you find yourself wanting to go back and re-listen to all of them.)
