My favorite Gordon Lightfoot song was one that wasn't written by him. But no one has covered "Me & Bobby McGee" better than Gordon Lightfoot did. Not even Janis Joplin's cover surpasses Lightfoot's rendition of Kris Kristoffserson's country classic. Check it out on the "Sit Down Young Stranger" album. I also Don Quixote--one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar. Great song!
That is truly a great song. It also has Ry Cooder on slide. Lightfoot and Cooder; wow. They teamed up on "Alberta Bound" too, with Cooder on mandolin.
Perhaps this is a new topic, but my favourite cover is "Changes," by Phil Ochs I think.
