Did She Mention My Name/Back Here On Earth by LIGHTFOOT,GORDON [Audio CD]

Description: Performer Notes: 2 LPs on 1 CD: DID SHE MENTION MY NAME (1968)/BACK HERE ON EARTH (1969).Folky Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot's third and fourth albums for United Artists, 1968's DID SHE MENTION MY NAME and 1969's BACK HERE ON EARTH, are collected on this two-fer disc.German remaster includes a bonus track.Personnel: Gordon Lightfoot (guitar); Red Shea (guitar); Herb Lovelle (drums).Audio Mixer: Larry Walsh.Liner Note Author: Colin Escott.Recording information: Mount Juliet, TN (09/1968).Illustrator: Michael Ochs.Photographer: Michael Ochs.Every '60s singer/songwriter of note expanded their instrumental approach as time went on, and Lightfoot was no exception. For his third album, he worked with John Simon (who would handle the Band and Big Brother), and occasionally used low-key orchestration. Though a tad more erratic than his earlier efforts, his songwriting remained remarkably consistent. His characteristically bright, uplifting outlook became more diverse as well, allowing for the chilling "Black Day in July" (written in response to the 1967 Detroit riots), the odd "Pussywillows, Cat-Tails" (an unusual and successful detour into baroque orchestral pop), and the ambiguous sobriety of "Does Your Mother Know." Back Here on Earth, the second half of this two-fer, was a retrenchment of sorts, recorded in Nashville with a three-piece acoustic lineup and a more countrified approach. It's not quite as outstanding as his first three albums, lacking highlights on the order of "Early Mornin' Rain" or "Black Day in July." Lightfoot never offered weak material on his United Artists efforts, however, and Back Here on Earth is still a very solid set. ~ Richie Unterberger Format: CD (1 Disc); Stereo Country: Germany Studio/Live: Studio Release Date: 22 November, 2019 Label: Bear Family Dimensions: 13.3 x 1.3 x 12.1 centimeters (0.06 kg)
