One of the handsomest, most perfectly conceived and executed albums I've heard in recent months is Did She Mention My Name?… Lightfoot is a romantic, to be sure, but he is a clear-eyed realist at the same time; the combination results in songs that are lyrical, full of tenderness and compassion, but above all real, honest, and totally without artifice. The whole album is a gas, but especially memorable are the lovely Pussywillows, Cat-tails; The Last Time I Saw Her; The Mountain and Maryann, and the title song, Did She Mention My Name? Unqualifiedly recommended. This is in every respect an essential set.
