Lightfoot greatly influenced a generation of Canadian performers. Acts as diverse as Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Sarah McLachlan and Jane's Addiction have recorded his compositions.
"I love this tribute," Lightfoot said in a rare interview. "Some of the artists have outdone me on songs. There are so many great takes," he continues. "The performances are energetic - and I appreciate it [being done]." Lightfoot marvels at how deftly the tribute covers his career. "It took Blue Rodeo to breathe life into 'Go Go Round'", he jokes. "It's also a wonderful performance of 'Canadian Railroad Trilogy,' [and] I like 'Bend in the Water,' too. Quartette is just wonderful; another that knocked me out was Bruce Cockburn. The Tragically Hip really went after 'Black Day in July' with a lot of gusto."
