I often wonder how a producer makes the call on which songs go on an album and which ones are cut. In the "Songbook" compilation, there are definitely some songs that are superior to what was put on a specific album. IMO, "Never Say Trust Me" for example, which has Lightfoot's finger-picked Gibson SG with Terry Clements flat-picking a familiar accompanyment on his Gretsch, should have ended up on "Salute" instead of, say, "Broken Dreams". But then, how do you cut a Gordon Lightfoot song off any album anyway.....
