I think Salute is very under rated. It's not too wildly over produced and has interesting songs: Salute, Knotty Pine, Whispers of the North and Tattoo (in the classic Lightfoot romantic style). Biscuit City, I could do without. Salute does seem to be a forgotten album.

There is a bootleg around of a some folk benefit appearence in the 80s where he performs lots of stripped down versions of East of Midnight songs and they are great. A Lesson In Love is intense in that form.
