Perhaps that's why his songs have been covered by everyone from Elvis (this set's \"Early Morning Rain\") to Dylan. If there's such a thing as an alpha-male folkie, Lightfoot certainly fits the bill. Spanning the tongue-in-cheek chauvinism of 1965's \"For Lovin' Me\" and the cheatin' ways of \"Sundown\" to more introspective fare like \"If You Could Read My Mind\" and \"Beautiful,\" this 20-track collection presents a concise primer on Lightfoot's career and craft. After his career peaked with one of the most unlikely top five hits ever, the gloom-laden 1976 narrative \"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,\" Lightfoot's production tailed off sharply, though this anthology's \"Stay Loose\" ('86) and \"Restless\" ('93) are testament to his enduring skills as a songwriter and performer. --Jerry McCulleyProduct DescriptionThe most comprehensive single CD collection by this treasured troubadour.
