When Bob Dylan classifies you as one of his favorite songwriters, you must be doing something right. And Lightfoot, two years Dylan's elder at 73, has a bit more left in the vocal tank than his fellow, younger folkie. Not to say his voice is what it once was, but the celebrated Canadian's grizzled croon adds new life to old words, turning the multi-platinum hits — recorded by everyone from Elvis to The Dandy Warhols — in an even more desperate and candid direction. $39-$59. 8pm. Stranahan Theater, 4645 Heatherdowns Blvd. 419-381-8851.
