''Don Quixote'' is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's 8th original album, released in 1972 on the Reprise Records Label. The album reached #42 on the ''Billboard'' album chart. The album contains little innovation on Lightfoot's trademark folk sound although it is notable as it contains Lightfoot's third seafaring song (his first two being "Marie Christine" from ''Back Here on Earth'' and "Ballad of ''Yarmouth Castle''" from ''Sunday Concert''), a genre that Lightfoot would continually revisit over the next 10 years. It also contains a rare Lightfoot foray into the protest song genre, in the form of the longest track on the album, "The Patriot's Dream," a ballad describing the enthusiasm of soldiers on a troop train "riding off to glory in the spring of their years," followed by the pathos of a woman receiving news that her husband's aircraft had been shot down in combat. "Beautiful" was released as a single and peaked at #58 on the ''Billboard'' singles chart. ==Track listing== #"Don Quixote" – 3:41 #"Christian Island (Georgian Bay)" – 4:02 #"Alberta Bound" – 3:07 #"Looking at the Rain" – 3:40 #"Ordinary Man" – 3:19 #"Brave Mountaineers" – 3:36 #"Ode to Big Blue" – 4:48 #"Second Cup of Coffee" – 3:03 #"Beautiful" – 3:23 #"On Susan's Floor" (Shel Silverstein/Vince Matthews) – 2:58 #"The Patriot's Dream" – 6:04 All compositions by Lightfoot except as indicated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Quixote (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
