Album Review: Good Lord She’s Gone Standin’ On The Outside by Brian Sklar Released in 1978 on Damon Productions Ltd., Brian Sklar’s Good Lord She’s Gone Standin’ On The Outside is a hidden gem from the Canadian folk scene. This album doesn’t just sit in the Folk, World, & Country genre—it breathes it. With its raw storytelling and stripped-down production, it feels like Sklar is sitting right across from you, guitar in hand, spinning tales only he could tell. Let’s talk tracks. The title track, “Good Lord, She’s Gone,” hits hard. It’s one of those songs that sticks with you—not because of flashy instrumentation but because of its emotional weight. Sklar’s voice cracks just enough to make you believe every word. You can almost picture the moment he’s singing about—someone walking out the door, leaving behind an emptiness that lingers. It’s simple yet devastatingly effective. The melody loops in your head long after the song ends, like a memory you can’t shake. Then there’s “Standin’ On The Outside.” This tune has a different vibe—more observational, less personal. It’s got this steady rhythm that mimics the feeling of being an outsider looking in. The lyrics are sharp, painting vivid pictures of people and places without over-explaining. There’s something universal about standing on the fringes, watching life unfold for others, and Sklar nails that sentiment. It’s not flashy, but man, does it resonate. What makes this album special is how unpolished it feels. These aren’t studio-perfect recordings; they’re real. You hear the creak of fingers sliding on strings, the occasional uneven note. And honestly? That’s what makes it work. It’s as if Sklar didn’t care about perfection—he cared about truth. Reflecting on Good Lord She’s Gone Standin’ On The Outside, it strikes me how rare albums like this are today. In a world obsessed with playlists and algorithms, Sklar’s work feels like a quiet rebellion—a reminder that music doesn’t need to shout to be heard. Plus, who names their label “Damon Productions Ltd.” in Canada in the ‘70s? Feels like something out of a novel. Maybe that’s why this album still feels alive, even decades later.
