GUEST,gillymor Old Songs Newly Found (86* d) RE: Old Songs Newly Found 18 Aug 25


It's Worth Believing written by the late Gordon Lightfoot is a song released in 1972 that I was unfamiliar with until I heard Herb Pedersen sing it on his Lonesome Feeling album. Mr. Pedersen's been around for a long time as a Bluegrass banjo player, Country Music band member (Desert Rose Band), harmony singer and songwriter (Wait a Minute, Old Train) but I found I really liked his understated lead vocal style after hearing this song. With stellar pedal steel by JayDee Maness.

More of my favorites from Lightfoot (the guy could really put together a song):
Home From the Forest from Tony Rice's landmark Manzanita LP and one from GL himself, an early song that he rerecorded in the '70's (and much improved, IMO)
Steel Rail Blues, with tasteful guitar work by Red Shea and Lightfoot.
