The song Harvest Moon is the title track from the album Harvest Moon, released in October, 1992.

I remember hearing a ton of Gordon Lightfoot as a kid growing up in Canada and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was one of the first songs I learned on guitar.

Add in some harmonica in the second video as well as a complete play through in the third to complete the series. If you're looking for a guitar backing track, guitar chords, lyrics, harmonica tabs, you'll find them too. Find it here: Edmund Fitzgerald
Yet another great JJ Cale song, Cocaine. There is a video lesson covering the rhythm guitar part including chords and strumming.
