The song has special meaning to me as I spent my Summers on one of the Great Lakes, watched those ships go by as a kid just as the song came out. What an unbelievably well told story. Gordon Lightfoot did it justice. He captured the blue collar yankee maritime spirit better than anybody else could have because he was from that world and he understood it.

How long has it been since Kathy Smith sold him heroin and he wrote the masterful Sundown?

Too damn long! That's my favorite Gordon Lightfoot tune hands down.

Sundown?


One of my favorite songs. Reminds me of the Seventies and my childhood when I hear it.
