herohill vs. Gordon Lightfoot: Turning Back The Pages Of My Sweet Shattered Dreams

0
0

So “hear” it is. The result of months of hard work from some of our favorite bands across this nation (and even a special cameo from one of our favorite American outfits). Basically, the idea was simple: Pay tribute to a Canadian legend on Canada Day. Oh, and get some free content for the blog of course. In all seriousness, Gordon Lightfoot has been making music for decades and his stories are passed from generation to generation. Unfortunately, when asked about the greatest Canadian songwriters, Gordon is often left off the list.

 

I’m not sure Gordon ever envisioned his songs spun into electro pop classics or played as dark, gospel hymns, but we certainly hope he likes the results. Turning Back the Pages of My Sweet Shattered Dreams’ is a contemporary take on his timeless material, and as sincere as anything we’ve ever done on herohill.

 

I hope you like this half as much as we do and more importantly, I hope you find some new favorite artists in this collection or maybe reconnect with an old friend. And really, we can’t say enough about the bands that stepped up for this. People recorded on their own dime and the results are fantastic. We certainly won’t have a better post all year, so if you like what you hear, share the link with as many people as you can.
