RIP Gordon Lightfoot. My grandpa (Jack Zaza) played in the studio with him a few times and he gushed about how lovely he was to work with. He would always retell one story about how Gordon paid him way more than he owed him simply because he appreciated his ideas so much, and I think he was always very flattered by that. I think maybe they knew each other from performing in restaurants or radio together or something like that (when Gordon played the drums), but I can’t remember. Anyway, this is all to say that I’ve always had the highest respect for Gordon Lightfoot from what my grandpa told me over the years.
You play Gordon so well! He will always hold a special place in my heart (as well as many others, I'm sure) as an artist I listened to fondly with my parents. I'm sure one day you'll leave similar mark on this earth as Gordon has, Carson
I remember when this album came out (Summertime Dream 1976) It struck me at a very impressionable time in my youth. Such fond memories. You honored this song beautifully. Thank you.
Lightfoot is one of my favorite folk artists, and as are you, so your cover of this tune makes me so happy! You give this song justice, beautiful tribute!
I'm a big fan of your voice Carson. If anyone doubted Gordon produced a masterpiece with this one - musically and lyrically - your superbly sublime, sincere delivery has convinced them.
Beautiful. A Gordon Lightfoot masterpiece, for sure. I have this posted on my channel since he passed. His concerts are something I will never forget. Thanks so much for this. Rest in peace Mr. Lightfoot.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Gordon Lightfoot and was able to see him in concert last summer. I’m so glad I had that chance! This is a beautiful cover ❤
Hi Emily I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹
I’ve listened to all of about 10 seconds of this and am already smitten 🥰 once again. Carson, you are the man. All thanks to Gordon, for sharing his songs with us for so long, and all thanks to you, Carson, for keeping them alive.
I hope one day to hear you and Madison Cunningham cover Tom Waits' "I Never Talk to Strangers" Your voice is so gorgeous and you use it so skillfully. Love your music💙🦋

One of the greatest songwriters I have ever come across. So many iconic lines but my personal favourite is "and if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away, that I might bleed some more" from The Last Time I Saw Her. One of the greats, and even then I'd say he was criminally underrated. Brilliant cover as always Carson.
I had a Gordan Lightfoot songbook years back I started playing , Your Beautiful, what awesome songs and beautiful melodies was what Gordan was all about!
Hello Carson, I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of your music and covers. I play and write too, and have even started covering some of the same songs after being inspired by your versions. You have a beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing your gift. -Jonathan
There are many Lightfoot songs like this one that were never mainstream hits but are gems waiting to be unearthed. Try “Saturday Clothes” from the If you Could Read My Mind album.
Carson, I really appreciate your musical sensitivity and touch. It puzzles me a little why The Other Favorites haven't tackled a Gordon Lightfoot cover yet (at least if you have, I haven't managed to find it posted anywhere). This is beautiful.

nicely done. one of my favourite Gord songs. I drive by his house often and it was so sad when he passed but it was lovely to see all the flowers at his gate.
Thank you Carson for this wonderful memory of Gordon Lightfoot. I associate him with the beginning of the nineties, when I discovered his record Cold On The Shoulder at home (my parents bought it back in the days of communism and it looked like they didn't even play it - maybe because it was a rare, western product and it had to be saved: -)) and it was as if a new world had opened up to me. It was a very sad May 1st this year. Thank you from Prague
I often tell my guests of your talent and to check your channel as they would not be disappointed. This was another beautiful cover. Thank you Carson for sharing your talent with us.
The guy walking by in the background with his face buried in his phone, oblivious to this incredible performance, is a microcosm of the world today.
Making all those high-end and yuppie vintage gear-heads cry, hearing you knock this out of the park with a zoom recorder. Superb, as usual.

Wow. Just wow. Great timing and chordal choices. Thanks. Edit by me. Jam 😊. This is my first time hearing this song ever. Thank you for sharing this ❤
Heaven, Carson. 👍💖
Wow. What a voice.
You play Gordon so well! He will always hold a special place in my heart (as well as many others, I'm sure) as an artist I listened to fondly with my parents. I'm sure one day you'll leave similar mark on this earth as Gordon has, Carson
Good one Greetings from Italy
Oh my… this goes straight to my soul…
Hi Lynn good morning, how are you doing? It’s nice coming across your amazing comment, where are you from? 🌺🌺

Your voice is like butter. Lovely rendition. Thanks for sharing your talent!

I'm a big fan of your voice Carson. If anyone doubted Gordon produced a masterpiece with this one - musically and lyrically - your superbly sublime, sincere delivery has convinced them.

Gordon will be smiling!
Beautiful rendition of a classic.
Thank you for this! Gordon will be missed. Such an incredible writer!
Goodness 💜💧
I don't hear this song often. You do it justice.

Loved it. Thanks.
Beatiful cover of a song not heard not heard often enough. Thank you.
GL was a true talent, as you are Carson. Well done.
Carson. This is incredible. Excellent excellent cover.
I hope one day to hear you and Madison Cunningham cover Tom Waits' "I Never Talk to Strangers"
Your voice is so gorgeous and you use it so skillfully. Love your music💙🦋
What an incredible baritone voice, singing an almost impossibly gorgeous song. Well done, Mr. C.
what a great version of this classic.
Looking Fit. Hope you have a good Love in your Life Carson, I wish it from the bottom of my heart.
I imagined you onstage under the lights, dressed in black with a few guitars around and adoring fans looking on. Million dollar voice!
Fantastic, RIP Gordon. Great performance and that little Zoom H2 has amazing sound.
What a beautiful song - another Ligthfoot-gem - and what a beautiful performance!
Superb!
A North Carolina summer in ode to Gordon. A beautiful rendition my friend.
As always, you sang beautifully. A man, a guitar, and a stool that's all you need, much like the late great Don Williams.
You’re the “King of the Heartbreakers” Carson.
I think Carson and Gordon would sound great together!!! They both have beutiful voices...
The mood for this song :")
Wow! What an amazing tribute! Thank you Carson
I love Gordon and have been looking forward to your tribute to him. You did it beautifully!
Thank you Carson. It's Always a Delight when you post, brings SUNSHINE into my day~ Love n Blessings to you~

Wonderful performance. I can tell that’s Josh’s Zoom h2 because of the gaffer tape laugh😂
That was beautiful!
What a beautiful voice, man! I’m jealous of your voice 😀
One of the greatest songwriters I have ever come across.

One of the greats, and even then I'd say he was criminally underrated.

He wasn't underrated here in Canada. More like a national hero.❤
That was beautiful. Did Gordo proud. Thank you Carson. God bless you.
Carson you have the smoothest voice! Just you and a guitar-so pure and beautiful!
I had forgotten about this song; I used to play this one. Tear in eye, I'm playing it again in the key I used to do it in. Thank you!
I had a Gordan Lightfoot songbook years back I started playing , Your Beautiful, what awesome songs and beautiful melodies was what Gordan was all about!
Fantastic...
Simple... straight forward
As it should be
Thank You

One of your very best. Thank you!
Great cover Carson, great song. RIP Gordy
Thank you Carson, just great❤
Thank you so much for this Carson! Originally from one of Lightfoot's very best album "Summertime Dream" (from 1976)
Great album. Spanish Moss is another all-time favorite for me.
awesome cover Carson . ii have never heard that one of Gord's before ,
Another one of my favorite Gordon Lightfoot songs. Thank you Carson for your cover of this song. 👍 You did a great job of it.
Just beautiful. Thankyou.

Love some Lightfoot and nobody can sing it like you! What a voice. Your subtle control is amazing! Thanks for the memories.🥲
Great performance, Carson. That's another album I wore the grooves off of. Cheers.
So beautiful. Thank you!
