Soulful horn-heavy Ottawa octet The Capitol Beat will be releasing their debut self-titled EP on June 1st. They'll celebrate with release gigs in both Ottawa and Toronto. Watch them perform their incredible cover the Gordon Lightfoot classic "Sundown" here: The Capitol Beat play The Measure in Toronto on June 7th.
Today I have a terrific recent interview with Gordon. Some things get better with age.....Gordon is one of those things. Enjoy the interview! As a bonus here is a great clip of Burton Cummings imitating Gordon singing various songs. Burton clearly has a lot of love for Gordon as do most Canadians and this American.
Gordon Lightfoot is easily one of my top three favorite musicians of all time (the others are Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen....and yes the Canadians outnumber the American on this list). Let me elaborate how strong my feelings for Gordon's music are...... If I had to give up all of my music except my Gordon Lightfoot library I could still lead a happy life. I have planned Gordon Lightfoot themed vacations...a train trip through the Canadian Rockies inspired of course by Canadian Railroad Trilogy. My pick for the most moving song ever [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation PA The sea has long been a source of inspiration for poets and musicians. From Samuel Taylor Coleridge's lyrical ballad, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to Iron Maiden 's metal ballad "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," every musical genre and permutation of the art form has been entranced by the romance, the adventures and the misadventures that can happen when a [...]
Before - Gordon Lightfoot After - The Replacements (Paul & Tommy) The Replacements version is available digitally today as part of the Songs For Slim project to raise money for medical costs for ex-Replacement, Slim Dunlap. Read all about & support it at Songs For Slim.
Anyone who was a fan of their dangerously debauched brand of college rock, so long gone now, would have thought that chances of the Replacements getting back together were roughly the same as the odds they'd cover a Gordon Lightfoot song. They're doing both, with a very good cause being the thing that finally smoked out erstwhile leader Paul Westerberg. [...]
For those of you that didn't nab one of the 250 Songs for Slim benefit EPs last month , here's some good news: The Replacements will release the five-track compilation digitally on March 5th and as a 123 vinyl on April 16th. And yes, once again, all proceeds will go on to benefit former Mats guitarist Slim Dunlap, who suffered a stroke last year . In anticipation of the EP's release, Pitchfork is streaming the group's cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "I'm Not Sayin'". As expected, it's a scratchy, lo-fi three minutes [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation liveaid.free.fr January 30 marks the 41st anniversary of Bloody Sunday -- the infamous massacre in North Ireland at the hands of the British army that saw 14 people die and provided a rallying cry for generations of republicans. And while you may or may not be a history buff, songs like U2 's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" have helped history live [...]
Gordon Lightfoot is a treasure. His Song For A Winter's Night is one of my all time favorite holiday songs. I hope you enjoy it as well! Your special surprise gift for today is a wonderful live 1969 performance of Early Morning Rain by a much younger Gordon Lightfoot than the one in the video above. I really enjoyed this one, what about you? Did you checkout his bellbottoms? I had a bunch just like them
Happening across the movie King Kong on cable the other night, something occurred to me - it might have been the most influential movie of my childhood. I’d seen the original version watching it on the late, late show when I slept over at a friend’s house in second grade. Not long after, the hype began for the remake. It was nothing compared to the hullabaloo for some movies now – no cable, no internet – but it seemed to begin a year before and the scope and duration was something I’d never seen [...]
The poster creeped me out - the slightly sepia tint that almost gave it the appearance of a photograph and the inhuman creature splashing through the shallow water. Below the movie's title was a tagline that, like the poster, was simple but made it truly chilling. A true story. I hadn't thought of the movie in years and years, but, The Legend Of Boggy Creek bobbed to the surface of the subconscious a couple weeks ago. It would seem from perusing the internet that the nearly forty-year old flick has maintained a [...]
