Gordon Lightfoot’s “Early Morning Rain,” performed live on BBC television in 1969, showcases the Canadian singer-songwriter’s poignant storytelling and melodic prowess. Originally written in 1964 and released on his 1966 debut album *Lightfoot!*, the song captures themes of longing and solitude. This live rendition, featuring Lightfoot accompanied by Red Shea on lead guitar and Rick Haynes on bass, offers a stripped-down, intimate interpretation that highlights the song’s emotional depth. The performance remains a testament to Lightfoot’s enduring influence in the folk music genre.
