Great!

Contains all the hits and many not as well known songs. It's a great listen.

Great memories of a wonderful artist and song writer.

Gordon Lightfoot is difficult to categorize. His voice, a richly masculine baritone; his delivery introspective and cool, sometimes to the point of being dismissive; his choice of material never quite folk, never quite pop, never quite rock, but at different points in that triangle of musical styles. Needless to say, he has never been a commercial artist. Surprising to say, he has had a fair amount of commercial success--and with some of the most unlikely material imaginable.If you are a determined Lightfoot fan, this single "best of" CD will give you endless grounds for complaint, for it leaves out several of Lightfoot's most critically acclaimed but less widely known works. For the rest of us, however, COMPLETE GREATEST HITS is a solid sampling of his work that mixes the obvious hits with a host of less obvious cuts, all of them rendered in the artist's unique style.Among the obvious cuts are Lightfoot's most radio-popular hits, the dramatic "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and the sultry "Sundown." Certainly these are classics of their kind, and most people who purchase this CD will likely be led to it by a desire for these two songs. Strange to say, however, they are both actually a little atypical of his work, which is perhaps best characterized by such songs as "Carefree Highway" and "If You Could Read My Mind," the latter of which has been recorded by a host of artists but never better than by Lightfoot himself.Overall, the melodies and lyrics of some songs pop a bit more than others in your ear, but one thing is true of all: whether it is one of the celebrated cuts or something you've never before heard, Lightfoot's voice and style are quite unlike any other male artist; his is a manly voice strangely suited for an emotionally rainy day, and he makes virtually everything he touches memorable. A worthy collection, particularly recommended for those approaching his work for the first time.GFT, Amazon Reviewer

I am so happy with my purchase of this cd. There is no-one like gordon lightfoot he is fantastic song writer and performer. The best!!! Had very good luck with this seller also.Thanks

Lightfoot's best is the best@!

I was sad when Gordon Lightfoot passed and I realized I had none of his music, which I always loved. I love this CD and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a token memory of his work.

Super schnelle Lieferung . Sendung ohne Schaden mit guter Verpackung. Bin begeistert.

Un artiste peu connu en France et c'est bien dommage. Le titre "if you could read my mind" est une pure merveille. On peut l'entendre dans la saison 5 de la série US "the black list".

This is a must have for Lightfoot fans.

A mio avviso, la migliore raccolta in circolazione per l'ottima selezione dei brani e un suono assolutamente fantastico. Lo consiglio senza riserve.
