Since emerging from the Toronto folk club scene in the early ‘60s, Gordon Lightfoot has recorded 19 albums. He has had five Grammy nominations and has won 17 Juno Awards in his native Canada. In 1970, in recognition of his contributions in furthering Canadian culture, he received the prestigious Order of Canada citation; in November 1997 he was presented the Governor General’s Award—the highest official Canadian honor, which is conferred on very few (Joni Mitchell is another) for their international efforts in spreading Canadian culture. Gordon also was inducted into The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Harmony is Lightfoot’s 20th album. It is a stunning collection of new and previously unreleased songs and has been highly acclaimed by critics and fans alike. The album’s versatile title track “Harmony” is an ode to the word itself and can be interpreted as a depiction of Gordon’s love of songwriting, something that has brought him through the making of his latest album.
