The late Gordon Lightfoot passed on May 1 at age 84. His album, At Royal Albert Hall, is coming out July 14 via Linus Entertainment. It is Lightfoot’s fourth live, and, according to the label, final album. At Royal Albert Hall is a double album that was recorded live in concert at the legendary London venue on May 24, 2016. It is described as “an unembellished live mix of that night’s performance, without edits, overdubs, remixing, or re-sequencing”. Before his death, Lightfoot reportedly insisted that this live album be released as soon as possible. He approved the cover artwork and requested that no changes were to be made to the recording.
The collection features Rick Haynes on bass, Barry Keane on drums, Mike Heffernan on keys, and Carter Lancaster on guitar. It features many of his well-known songs such as “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, “If You Could Read My Mind”, “Early Morning Rain”, and more. Find the track list below.
