Early Morning Rain - Gordon Lightfoot Cover by Boot Leg

Early Morning Rain is one of Gordon's most famous songs, covered by Neil Young, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Ian & Sylvia among others. Written and recorded in 1964, it is considered one of Lightfoot’s classics and showcases his expressive voice and guitar playing.
This song's genesis took root during Gordon's 1960 sojourn in Westlake, Los Angeles. Throughout this time, Lightfoot sometimes became homesick and would go out to the Los Angeles International Airport on rainy days to watch the approaching aircraft. The imagery of the flights taking off into the overcast sky was still with him when, in 1964, he was caring for his 5-month-old baby son and he thought, "I’ll put him over here in his crib, and I’ll write myself a tune." This song was the result.
