Gordon Lightfoot

A Painter Passing Through

Two out of 10

Review Score: (4/10)
That's how many good tracks are on this cd. Most of the songs GL has written are too high for his voice. When he sings Ian Tyson or Steve McEown, he sings in his good old baritone and with a vitality that isn't in the other cuts. These two cuts (Red Velvet and I Used to Be a Country Singer) are awfully good, though.

He seems to have some itch to write a song about the loon, he's tried it before, but it doesn't quite make it. The age of Froggy Went A-courtin' is long gone. And Uncle Toad won't revive it.
