  Reviews

  a fine album which weaves conventional folk and pop strands into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Rolling Stone

  Lightfoots commercial peak came with this album, which topped the U.S. charts, containing both the number one title song and the Top Ten 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. AllMusic
