Sundown

by Gordon Lightfoot

Overview

Lightfoot's commercial peak came with this album, which topped the U.S. charts, containing both the number one title song and the Top Ten hit "Carefree Highway." But songs like "Somewhere U.S.A." and "High and Dry" are textured, catchy folk-rock on a par with the better-known tunes. ~ William Ruhlmann
