Always,if you're going to basically "inform" a friend or anyone on Gordon Lightfoot,it's best to start at the beginning and show them how his music grew and progressed.

If you start with Harmony or in the middle,then go to the UA & then Reprise,it might seem a bit too mixed up. '66 to '04,remember that!
I second that idea. I had the great good fortune to get to see his Live In Reno concert broadcast on our local PBS station this evening, and miracle of all miracles, though my mum wouldn't admit it, she was even hummimg along with the music, which for me is a good start, as she normally wouldn't listen to him.
