Canadian labels
unite to release a
star-studded tribute to Canada’s greatest
songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot. The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Ron
Sexsmith, Cowboy Junkies and
Bruce Cockburn are among the
artists who have recorded Lightfoot songs for the
first-ever salute to Canada’s premier songwriter.
Borealis Records, Canada’s pre-eminent folk/roots label and NorthernBlues, Canada's cutting-edge blues label have combined forces to release “Beautiful: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot.” The upcoming album will be released in Canada, the United States, and a number of overseas markets, on October 7 this year. The Cowboy Junkies open the album with “The Way I Feel” and are joined by a cast of performers that include The Tragically Hip, who recreate “Black Day in July,” Blue Rodeo, with one of Lightfoot’s earlier songs, “Go Go Round,” Murray McLauchlan, who essays a personal solo version of “Home From the Forest.” and Bruce Cockburn who delivers a soulful version of “Ribbon of Darkness” — the first Lightfoot “hit” recorded by Marty Robbins.“Beautiful” has been executive-produced by Colin Linden, and will include a 20-page booklet. A special series of events is being planned to coincide with the release of “Beautiful” in early October. The album will be distributed in Canada by Festival Distribution and in the United States by Big Daddy Music Distribution, based in New Jersey. For further information,
