Many of Gordon Lightfoot’s albums have achieved gold and multi-platinum status internationally and his songs have been recorded by some of the world’s most renowned artists including Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Sarah McLachlan, Barbra Streisand, Peter Paul & Mary, Harry Belafonte, Jane’s Addiction, Richie Havens, Glen Campbell, Toby Keith, Anne Murray, and George Hamilton IV. He has received five Grammy® nominations and seventeen Juno Awards in his native Canada, and was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, among his many other distinctions.

Lightfoot’s legacy is also well-known in the bluegrass world, especially (but not exclusively) in the recordings of Tony Rice, whose voice and guitar fit better than gloves with Lightfoot’s melodies and lyrics. “Tony Rice Sings Gordon Lightfoot” is a collection of a dozen songs that any bluegrass enthusiast should own: Go My Way, I’m Not Sayin’, Bitter Green, Shadows, Cold on the Shoulder, Walls, Song for a Winter’s Night, etc. If you don’t own this absolute gem, you should!
