It'd be a compliment being a Gordon Lightfoot fan to hear a jazz purist say it sounds nothing like jazz. THANK GOD! He'd be right...that's why I love Gordon! (He must have done "Make Way For The Lady" in that style to throw them a bone). Gordon goes from and/or combines country, folk, rock...and I'm still not sure if "14-Karat Gold" opens up to disco, a polka, or Russian folk (what does that driving bass make it, anyway?)..I LOVE IT whatever it is and THANK GOD it's NOT jazz!!!
