Great album which harkens back to classic Lightfoot sound

Review Score: (8/10)
As a Lightfoot fan from the early 70s, I have found much to love in this cd. Painter Passing Through, Drifters, Ringneck Loon and others on the cd are truly classic Lightfoot. His voice has changed, undoubtedly. Isn't that to be expected. But I believe there is a new richness to it. I saw him in concert at a soldout Wolftrap Park outside Washington, D.C. His voice was rich and pure and he was animated and talkative onstage. A wonderful concert, eagerly awaited. This cd should be part of your collection if you enjoy Lightfoot's gift for songwriting and imagery.
