Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown

Gordon Lightfoot — Sundown

Hybrid SACD

Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series

Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds!

Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab direct to DSD from the original master tape

When Sundown hit the airwaves in 1974, Gordon Lightfoot didn't just top the charts — he captured a moment in time. With its mix of folk storytelling, country warmth, and pop polish, 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 full album that keeps drawing listeners back: "High and Dry," "Carefree Highway," "Seven Island Suite" — each a masterclass in songwriting craft and emotional subtlety.

Now, Sundown sounds better than ever. Cut direct to DSD by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, from the original master tape, this Hybrid SACD edition brings every shimmer of 12-string guitar and nuance of Lightfoot's unmistakable baritone into sharper, more lifelike focus. 

For fans of Lightfoot, for lovers of the singer-songwriter era, and for anyone who wants to hear a timeless album in the form it deserves, this Sundown reissue is the definitive way to experience a classic reborn.
