Carefree Highway Revisited

Hello folk music fans! Gordon Lightfoot is one of the greatest folk-rock artists of all time. And now there's a podcast celebrating and discussing his work, song by song. It's called Carefree Highway Revisited, and every episode, your host (that's me, Mike Messner) will examine one of Gordon's songs with the help of a special guest! So if that's your cup of tea, give us a listen and give us a follow. We'll see you on the Carefree Highway! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'll Tag Along (CHR S4 E2)
