When “Sundown” was released in 1974, Gordon Lightfoot not only stormed the charts – he captured a very special moment in time. With its mix of folk, country, and pop, “Sundown” became one of the defining albums of the decade. The title track alone – haunting, hypnotic, and unforgettable – remains one of the greatest songs ever written about love and jealousy. But it's the entire album that captivates listeners time and time again: “High And Dry,” “Carefree Highway,” “Seven Island Suite” – every single song is a masterpiece of songwriting and emotional subtlety. The Canadian's ninth studio album, originally released on Reprise Records, reached No. 1 on the pop charts in the US. In his home country, it topped the RPM 100 for five consecutive weeks, reaching No. 1 for the first time on June 22, 1974, the same day it reached the top of the charts south of the border. On this anniversary reissue for the 40th birthday of Acoustic Sounds, every glimmer of Lightfoot's 12-string guitar and every nuance of his distinctive baritone voice comes across vividly. For lovers of the singer-songwriter era, the reissue of “Sundown” is the best way to relive a historic classic.

Matthew Lutthans' meticulous and loving remastering to DSD from the original tapes at The Mastering Lab ensures that this new Hybrid SACD edition boasts sound quality never heard before!
