Default Re: BEAUTIFUL / A Tribute To Gordon Lightfoot

tracks 1 and 15 are still in my iTunes rotation...i was pretty pumped after hearing that Junkies arrangement after cracking the CD wrapper...i slowly came down as the album progressed...however the production and mastering was slick throughout and there are some interesting arrangements here and there with only a few clunkers, imo

i was hoping to finally hear Jim Cuddy conquer a Gord tune (so many would work) but that didn't come to pass...however, GGR is certainly kinda fun

HFTF is tasty but there are 2 or 3 other versions I prefer

the Muldaur and Caldor cuts had me looking at my watch, I should give them another go...maybe i'm less shallow now

it was great to hear a studio cut of the very fine Finnan tribute track, I hadn't heard it since the inaugural Hugh's Room performance...it was hard to believe that it could ever be eclipsed

so in short (ok, that really wasn't), #1, final answer....cheers, jjo
