Salute is the fifteenth studio album by Canadian musician Gordon Lightfoot, released in 1983 Warner Brothers Records. It barely registered on the charts (#175) and is one of his least-known recordings. Consequently, songs from the album were rarely featured in Lightfoot's live performances.
The album completed Lightfoot's shift from acoustic folk/country compositions to a more sleek adult contemporary sound, a shift he had begun on Shadows. However, he had never completely abandoned his folk roots, as "Whispers of the North", "Knotty Pine" and "Tattoo" show.
In general, the album was more upbeat than its introspective predecessor with even greater use of electric guitar licks and synthesizers.
