Default "If you could read my mind" - The Documentary

If you're a fan of Gordon Lightfoot, you would enjoy this new documentary about the man himself. It is a somewhat cursory look at his storied life, career, and amazing songs. Lots of commentary from the likes of Steve Earle, Randy Bachman, Alec Baldwin, Ian Tyson, his long-time bassist, drummer and more. It does touch on all the main events but his 2018 biography, "Lightfoot", would the book to read for all the "gory" details.

It aired yesterday on the CBC Documentary Channel and will be on again later this month. You may need a little digging if you can't access the CBC but it is well worth a bit of chase time, imo.

Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATKIgW49uD4

Thanks for posting this. I've long been a fan of Lightfoot, just hope I can find this documentary here in the states.

Me too! Look forward to watching this. I was a freshman in college (Spring 1966) when I bought his (first?) album Lightfoot!, and have been a fan since. Thanks for sharing...
