By and large, Harmony is Lightfoots most honest work since Waiting For You. I agree that River of Light is a masterpiece from the master himself - rather a stately sound, with his trademark "E no 3rd drone", as he calls it. As a sidebar, I'm fifty, and I find playing that "E no 3rd" chord harder on my fingers all the time - but I don't have anywhere near his practice time. Back to the subject, I am moved by the lyric "I won't be lookin' up old friends ever again..." - powerful stuff...
