Still the best after all these years

Review Score: (10/10)
A long, long time ago, I discovered that I have a natural resonance for Gord's music. No matter what he does, or whose songs he sings, it still resonates deeply with me. I've had the great fortune to speak with him at length, and spend hundreds of hours listening to the dozens and dozens of songs that he has recorded.

Someone more eloquent than I once said that "his music and his words weave a rich tapestry of life". A Painter Passing Through is yet another weave in the tapestry.

As to whether his vocal quality has deteriorated: When I look at my wife, I still see her as I did when we met many, many years ago (I'm in the same 60'ish crowd as is Gord). So, I guess I must not have noticed. I can tell you this, however: As long as Gord makes music and speaks words, I'll be there to listen. I have no doubts that it will continue to bring treasure to my life.

For the many of us, who are with Gord on the journey through life, we're in it for the long haul!
