Where this album fits

Career context
When 'Solo' was released on March 20, 2020, Gordon Lightfoot was in the latter phase of his storied career, having celebrated over five decades in music. This album followed his previous release, 'Golden Hits,' and marked a return to original compositions after a period of focusing on re-recordings and compilations. At this point, Lightfoot was revered as a legendary figure in folk and country music, though he faced health challenges that would later impact his touring schedule.
