Description
Originally issued as Sit Down Young Stranger in 1970 and retitled after If You Could Read My Mind caught fire, this is Gordon Lightfoot leaning into intimacy on his Reprise debut. Minstrel of the Dawn opens with that easy, ringing guitar figure and a lyric that feels like an invitation to lean closer. The Pony Man drifts like a campfire tale you almost remember from childhood. Side A keeps a gentle lift without ever tipping into syrup. On this LP the space around the voice opens up and imaging sharpens, so his picking blooms naturally and the small percussion details stay tidy. File it beside James Taylor on the early 70s singer-songwriter shelf; same quiet confidence, more northern glow. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Gordon Lightfoot records online with us. Melbourne listeners after an unfussy classic for late evenings or a calm Sunday tidy will be well served here. Favourite moment: the breath before the chorus of If You Could Read My Mind, where the whole room seems to hold still. You can feel a writer settling into his stride without pushing too hard.
Order today, available online or for pickup in our Melbourne store.
