GUEST,Jerome Clark	Best Gordon Lightfoot Album? (52* d)	RE: Best Gordon Lightfoot Album?	11 Aug 17
That's David Rea, not "Rae." He died in 2011. Both Joni Mitchell and Ian Tyson have praised him in song. I saw him in concert at a Chicago folk club ca 1970-1971. My friend then and still, Minneapolis guitarist Dakota Dave Hull, was there with me, and we were impressed with his version of "Oh Death." We talked with him afterwards, and he seemed startled that we knew of Dock Boggs, from whom nearly all North American versions (including Ralph Stanley's) of this very old song flow. He was a remarkable musician who deserves to be better remembered than he is.
