Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind

Documentary, Music
From the song he refuses to perform to his admiration for Drake, a songwriting legend reflects on his lyrics and longevity with candour and humour. At 80 years young (and currently recording another album), Gordon Lightfoot continues to entertain and enlighten. Personal archive materials and studio sessions paint an intimate picture of an artist in his element, candidly revisiting his idealistic years in Yorkville's coffeehouses, up through stadium tours and the hedonistic '70s.

A very good documentary that shows us how unique Gordon Lightfoot was to music and Canada. Geddy Lee said it best, "He sent the message to the world that we're not just a bunch of lumberjacks and hockey players up here. You know, we're capable of sensitivity and poetry and that was a message delivered by the success of Gordon Lightfoot internationally." Now that Gordon is gone, it leaves very few musicians who can write songs about Canada and put it across in a way that everyone can understand and enjoy.

I knew Lightfoot from my childhood - my parents would occasionally put on his records. My parents had an awful taste in music so I never really paid him much attention. This documentary really opened my eyes. There is an urgency and intensity that I can't recall hearing in another folk artist. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies
