Gordon Lightfoot just turned 80, and he's putting the final touches on his first new album in 15 years
Published Thursday, May 23, 2019 10:09PM EDTThe life of the Canadian music legend is being explored in a new documentary and he’s in the midst of a U.S. tour as he completes his first album in 15 years.
The international folk-rocker recalled a time when he was just hired as a songwriter – back when most didn’t even know he could sing. But looking back on his success, he said he’s seeing parts of his legacy differently. One thing even Lightfoot forgot was a collection of six songs he’d written nearly two decades ago. While he was cleaning out his office, he found songs he’d written just before he suffered a heart aneurysm in 2001.
“I maintain my own instruments. They have to be in absolute pitch,” he said. But over the years, he’s made personal changes, including giving up smoking, which he’s been trying to maintain.
