Gordon Lightfoot - Gord's Gold (1975)

The Canadian folk-pop singer loomed large in our teenage years, and well beyond, without us noticing it. His hits, especially 'If You Could Read My Mind', 'Carefree Highway' and 'Rainy Day People', always brought memories of faces and places, and their aching melodicism never failed to affect us.

This compilation is all that you need if you're new to Lightfoot as the 21 tracks constitute his most accomplished work.
