Better than no album at all!

Review Score: (4/10)
This new album is better than no album at all. Gordon has entertained us for decades. He has the right to just kick back and do nothing at all. At least he is giving his fans something new. Several new songs such as "A Painter Passing Through" and "Drifters" are as good as any classic Lightfoot song. Many other songs are weak, but that has often been the case on many of his albums. I am tired of some of these reviewers coming down on Gordon for having done nothing good since the 1960s and early 70s. Though the many of the songs from the 60s are great the production values really stink. To these people I say that Gordon reached his peak in the quality of songs and production with the 1980s albums "Shadows" & "Salute." Hopefully we will have Gordon around for many more years.
