Sundown, you better take care If I find you bin creepin' round my back stairs.

  Gordon Lightfoot Sundown CD
Sundown is definitely one of his best works written and performed during his prime years.
This album is one of those that you can put on and not hear a bad song.
Another great thing about this album is that,even though it was recorded on analog tape back in the bad old days, all of the instruments sound great, especially the acoustic guitars.

 Amazon.com: Sundown: Music: Gordon Lightfoot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This album wasn't Lightfoot's breakthrough recording, but it was both a demonstration of the rocking electric turn most folkies would make after Dylan's revolution, and a commercially successful marriage of soulful, R&B sensibility with folk narratives.
With the release of Gordon Lightfoot's breakthrough album 'Sundown' in '74 the Canadian troubador's name was forever engraved into the consciousness of American music.
Sundown, originally released in 1974, was Lightfoot's most successful album on the billboard charts.

 Sundown CD Reviews
If your knowledge of the gunfight is limited (like mine is) to the Star Trek episode "Spectre of the Gun," Sundown recounts the classic tale of the old west, wherein Doc Holliday joined forces with Wyatt Earp and his brothers to battle the Clanton Gang in Tombstone, Arizona.
Musically, Sundown recalls a harder edged Big River, thanks to rollicking character numbers like "Fly In The Ointment" and "Politickin'," which stand side by side with beautiful ballads like "Bridges" (beautifully performed by Judy McLane) and the title song (a plaintive 'end of the trail' number sung by Doc Holliday).
“Sundown takes its audience back to the Wild West as it retells the story of the Doc Holliday and the Tombstone showdown between Holliday, the Earps and the Clantons.

 The Music Box: Kingfish - Sundown on the Forest (Album Review)
Sundown on the Forest -- Kingfish's first studio album in more than 20 years -- reunites many of the musicians who have passed through the group, including Sless, Siegel, Weir, and keyboardist Barry Flast.
Sundown on the Forest is certainly an ambitious effort that is full of ideas, though this is its biggest asset and its biggest flaw.
Like the exquisite forest pictured on the album cover, there is a vast diversity of styles in the music, but in the end this diversity serves to function as a cohesive unit.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Interview - CEMETARY 1213 - July 2000
With "Sundown" the world as we know it more or less ended, told the last few minutes on earth and on "Last Confessions" you have tracks like "1213 - Trancegalactica", which is like the carrier-spaceship bringing this new breed to earth.
SUNDOWN was a completely new band and had no connections to CEMETARY, was no side-project of CEMETARY, as our label had spun the story.
I went through hell while doing this album, my whole life was in pieces and when I did that album I realised one hundred per cent that I have to do this all by myself, in full control.

 Country Music - Album Reviews
This may be the summer album of 2003 and, if there is any justice at all end up on the Ten Best list of virtually ever critic worth her salt.
The album opens with a powerhouse cover of Porter Wagoner's "A Satisfied Mind,'' and it closes with a version of Johnny Cash's 1967 ballad "Walls of a Prison." The old Carl and Pearl Butler tune about Music City injustices, "Sundown in Nashville," is just as relevant today as it was decades ago.
The album opens with a bit of nostalgia in a rousing version of "A Satisfied Mind," a country nugget that has the distinction of being a Top 5 hit in 1955 for three different artists (Porter Wagoner, Red Foley and Jean Shepard) at the same time…and it pretty much sets the tone for what follows.

 Cemetary: Gothic/Doom Metal
Having settled on a reliable collection of musicians, Mathias Lodmalm has accomplished his most impressive assembly of songs for this effort, and the fundamental aspects of the band’s sound have been refined to an extent that the music is provided a sharpness and a sense of clarity ultimately unknown to previous releases.
Sundown is about a world unable to heal itself from a festering infection, and its painfully aware inhabitants desperately grasping at strings of evasive hope as shadows of crippling regret and smothering sorrow stalk from every direction.
Though the band is resurrected by Lodmalm a few years later with an all-new line-up, Last Confessions, despite half of the album being constructed of some of the band’s finest material of all time, is overall a disappointment and a pitiful send-off for one of the most underrated bands of the gothic/doom metal genre.

 Definitive Versions - Hurry On Sundown
When it comes to Hawkwind and their plethora of live albums that inevitably result in multiple versions of specific songs becoming available, the entire issue of whether there *is* such a thing as the Definitive Version is open to question.
The Canterbury Fayre 2001 live album had a generally warmer, more organic sound to it, but the idiosyncratic violin vamping that Simon House adds here replaces the irritating qualities of the bass on the previous version.
The three live versions (4, 5 and 6) are different, and show some linear progression from one album to the next.

 interphase online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
For me the strongest track on that impressive album The track 'Glimmer' that has given this cd its name centers and unites all the emotions and styles used on the album so it wasn't hard for me to choose it as my favorite track.
This album is quite different from what they did on their last CD (which really sounded like CEMETARY).
Since forming Sundown was partially in hopes of escaping the confines the Cemetary name had attached to it, Glimmer is by far his most varied and experimental work to date.

 Gordon Lightfoot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In 1966, his debut album ''Lightfoot!'' was released and it brought him recognition as a singer as well as a songwriter.
On the strength of this album, which mixed Canadian and universal themes, Lightfoot became one of the first Canadian singers to achieve real stardom in his own country without moving to the United States.
In 1974, his classic single, "Sundown", from the Sundown (album)album of the same name, went to No.1 on the United StatesAmerican charts.

The album opens with a classic 21st century take on 70’s disco and continues on to the second song, the title track a recent top 5 single that is perhaps their best track so far.
‘Sundown’ just about has it all and seems to be the perfect single to launch the new album and new improved and grown up name onto the public.
The album’s final track shows perhaps a more mature side to the band and is going to be a very big hit at some point (Christmas perhaps?).

It’s not a great album, but it is an interesting example of a band on their journey from genre to genre.
Trying to describe the album using conventional methods is a total waste of time, especially since all the tracks flow seamlessly and are untitled, leaving nothing to base one’s interpretations off of.
Any of the catchy and upbeat songs that begin the album could just as well be one of the singles on today’s popular radio, which is an impressive achievement for a local band only on its second full-length.

 Gordon Lightfoot - Albums - Sundown
Lightfoot's commercial peak came with this album, which topped the US charts, containing both the #1 title song and the Top 10 hit "Carefree Highway." But songs like "Somewhere U.S.A." and "High and Dry" are textured, catchy folk/rock on a par with the better known tunes.
Released in the winter of 1974, Sundown ranks among Gordon Lightgoot's most popular albums, featuring the evocative number one hit "Sundown." His tenth long player, Sundown, captures the mix of folk and pop music stylings that has made Lightfoot an influential singer and songwriter.
From 1966 to 1969 he recorded a string of albums for Liberty Records.

 CD Baby: ANGIE PALMER: Road
This is the third album from an accomplished Singer/Songwriter.
Lyrically this is an interesting album, she covers traditional songwriter themes well on many of the songs, but the first and last tracks are the obvious standouts, they're both substantial songs with dramatic and vivid lyrics that are full of myth and metaphor and certainly open to varied interpretation.
It's a musically diverse album that moves between styles well, but overall there's the slightest country feel throughout- this is probably due to the choice of instrumentation which has a good amount of excellent violin and mandolin on top of the standard acoustic and electric guitars.

It is much more mature than their debut album and the voices have grown.

 Waitin' On Sundown - Brooks & Dunn, Music Downloads - Online
This Album was released by Brooks and Dunn on 02/27/2007
Review: Waitin' on Sundown didn't depart from Brooks & Dunn's formula much, but the fans didn't mind -- it sold over three million albums anyway.
By this point, the duo's albums have become a handful of solid singles -- this time out, they were "Little Miss Honky Tonk," "She's Not the Cheatin' Kind," and "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" -- surrounded by filler, but the hits will make the fans forgive the filler.

 Sundown Album Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Lightfoot's "Sundown" for Reprise is a scrumptious summation of what else he has done; compared to what several other troubadours are doing, it's notably broad-shouldered, wide-brimmed, lean-hipped, and outdoorsy.
"Sundown" finds Lightfoot reunited with bass player John Stockfish, a regular with the troupe in the early days, but latter-day regular Rick Haynes is still around too, and both are great.
Lightfoot's songs are often keyed to the bass, and Lightfoot takes a direct no-nonsense approach to instrumentation.

 HAWKWIND Hawkwind reviews
The first album sees this disorderly group take some embryonic steps and unfortunately while there's the odd colourful tune, a fair amount of this album is downright boring.
As noted in other reviews, this album not truly representative of any of the Hawks major musical incarnations, but being their very first is of more than casual interest to a true fan.
A style that I feel was to come to full fruition on their second album" X in search of space" and then tailed of bit by bit as the years went on.
