Gordon Lightfoot and the folk revival
Broadcast Date: Nov. 8, 1991
'Your songs are our songs,' says CBC Radio's Peter Gzowski to Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot. Having penned and recorded such classics including The Canadian Railroad Trilogy, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Early Mornin' Rain, the composer from Orillia, Ontario became the quiet leader of the folk music movement in Canada. In this Morningside interview, Lightfoot shyly describes his writing process and modestly chats about his early mentors Ian and Sylvia Tyson and Bob Dylan
