| | Gordon Lightfoot Sundown CD Gordon Lightfoot Discography of CDs
 (5 Customer Reviews)
By the mid-1970s, Gordon Lightfoot had become a full-fledged pop star, a staple of AM radio, and a regular denizen of the Billboard charts. While his production sensibilities at the time had expanded a bit by the time of SUNDOWN, he was never ... Full Descriptiona folk purist to begin with, and it's a superficial distinction at best. What's important is that Lightfoot's songwriting acumen actually grew with his fame. "Circle of Steel," for example, is a cutting sociopolitical commentary that he probably wouldn't have been able to turn out a few years earlier. On the other side of the fence, the casual sensuality of the title track would have stuck out like a sore thumb on Lightfoot's earliest, more mannered albums. The easy blend of folk and pop on the hit "Carefree Highway" represents the unique paradigm that was always at the heart of both Lightfoot's gift and his wide appeal.

Sundown Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   Sundown Perhaps Lightfoot's Best
This album is one of those that you can put on and not hear a bad song. Gord was in his writing and singing prime on Sundown. Another great thing about this album is that,even though it was recorded on analog tape back in the bad old days, all of the instruments sound great, especially the acoustic guitars. Sundown and CSN's debut album are two of the best acoustic guitar recordings in my opinon. This one is a keeper.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A Classic Troubador
Nary a bad song on this album...GL was a rare artist who grew better as he got more exposure. Many fine songs on this record, but the one that stays in my head is "Too Late for Prayin'". What a great song...it still sends chills up my spine. Take a listen to one of the great troubadors of modern music...you'll be enthralled by his talent.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Another masterpiece by the master musician
Sundown is definitely one of his best works written and performed during his prime years. All the melodies and words are exceptional. You don't get tired of listening to them because they stand the test of time. I can't say enough of his talents and abilities. The songs soothe and bring contentment. If you haven't obtained this one, you are missing out.

| | Crosby, Stills, and Nash Demos CD (2009) Digipak
Sundown music CDs
$13.49
Composed mainly of stripped-down, mostly acoustic versions of some famous Crosby, Stills & Nash songs, DEMOS affords a fascinating glimpse of the singer-songwriter movement in its infancy. Make no mistake--these are no lo-fi collector's curiosities. Tunes like "Marrakesh Express," its bright, fresh harmonies intact, and "You Don't Have To Cry" compare quite favorable with their official versions. The David Crosby songs, "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Deja Vu," especially benefit from the unplugged treatment--one finally gets a sense of their meandering, free-floating charms, complete with vocal/guitar nuances and dynamics (some nice scat singing from David) mostly absent from the older albums. It also is true that many of the Woodstock-era lyrics here are pretty much of their time and place, but the songcraft is indestructible.
| | Steve Earle Townes CD (2009)
Sundown songs
$14.29
With the appropriately titled TOWNES, Steve Earle pays tribute to his mentor, the late singer/songwriter legend Townes Van Zandt. Like Earle, Van Zandt was a Texan who made his way to Nashville even though his music didn't fit the mainstream country mold. Earle, who learned a lot from Van Zandt, honors his hero's mix of country, folk, and poetic lyricism with an affectionate trip through the Van Zandt songbook. Whether he's tackling a dark, moody tune like "Marie," a post-Dylan flight of lyrical fancy like "Lungs," or a trad-tinged country song like "White Freightliner Blues," Earle brings just the right mix of reverence and renegade fire to the table.
Recording information: Nashville TNN.
Personnel: Steve Earle (vocals, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, harmonium, percussion); Justin Townes Earle (vocals, guitar); Allison Moorer (vocals); Tom Morello (electric guitar); Darrell Scott (dobro, banjo); Tim O'Brien (mandolin); Shad Cobb (fiddle); John Spiker (electric bass); Dennis Crouch (bass guitar); Greg Morrow (drums); Steve Christensen (percussion).
