Several come to mind. "Beautiful" and the Gord's Gold hits, but, the one that stands out as a man's man type of song that stirs my heart is "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" about taming the land and laying rails, creating history in the 1800's. I can 'see' it happening, hear the 'ping' of the hammers pounding in the spikes, etc. Gordon is a perceptive, talented storyteller that brings a passion to music. He has influenced me for 35 years to learn and play my Martin well, with music that MEANS something, not just to sell a record.
