Description
A small intake of breath before verse two of "Return into Dust" tells you plenty about Gordon Lightfoot's Solo. Sourced from early 2000s demos and kept gloriously spare, it is simply voice and guitar. "Oh So Sweet" opens with a gentle lilt, while "E-Motion" leans into a sly rhythmic sway. On this LP the space around the instrument widens and string transients feel crisp. File it beside late period Leonard Cohen, only here the arrangements stay bare and the picking is central. Lightfoot's phrasing has weather and warmth, and the writing is quietly stubborn about craft. If you'd rather order online, you can buy Gordon Lightfoot records online with us. Hearing the low strings thrum under his thumb on "Oh So Sweet" is a small thrill. "E-Motion" hides a neat little hammer-on turnaround that feels like a wink. These songs sit with the classic 1970s singer-songwriter shelf, yet they wear their years honestly. Quiet listening suits it, and the room feels like a companion rather than an audience. Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
