Starlite & Campbell - If You Could Read My Mind

Starlite & Campbell - If You Could Read My Mind We were very saddened to hear of the death of Gordon Lightfoot today. A couple of years ago we came across a video of Gordon singing on the steps of his home celebrating Canada Day. He stood so strong and and at the same time so fragile, his voice beautifully broken and intense. One of the songs he sang in the short set was If You Could Read my Mind - we cried!

Gordon Lightfoot tribute album features mix of classics
and deep cuts from legendary songwriter’s catalog

This Montana-based outfit’s excellent new self-released Gordon Lightfoot tribute album deftly fortifies buoyant
classic rock staples (“ Carefree Highway” ) with deep cuts (“ Sometimes I Wish” ).
I was really interested in capturing the classic Seventies sounds that the original records have while recording Heavy on the Lightfoot,” frontman Ian Thomas says. “ I didn't quite get it the way Gordon did, of course, but I still think it sounds good.”
