from the cover: "The songs of Gordon Lightfoot are songs of this country. No other popular composers have captured as he has, the scope of the land it's grandeur, its beauty. Nor have they challenged Lightfoot's insight into the joys and sorrows of its people.This album is an instrumental reprise of the artists most popular material performed by the Mariposa Reeds, an ensemble formed expressly for this purpose. For admirers of Lightfoot it will prove a pleasant surprise. For new ears, a rich, most musical introduction to his work."
