I didn't know that about Gordon Lightfoot. Love his music though. (I don't think of him as a country artist - he had a lot of crossover hits that did well on mainstream rock radio stations.)

Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. CC OOnt (November 17, 1938 – May 1, 2023) was a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved international success in folk, folk-rock, and country music. Credited with helping to define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 1970s,[1] he has been referred to as Canada's greatest songwriter,[2] having several gold and multi-platinum albums[3] and songs covered by some of the world's most renowned musical artists.[4] Lightfoot's biographer Nicholas Jennings said, "His name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness."[5]

As I said, his music was played on LA area rock stations. Don't know about other cities/countries.
