It has probably been 25 years since I listened to this album. I couldn't believe how good it sounded. I listened to it about 3 times in a row before I put it aside. Gord's voice is at the peak of its richness here. Several songs (It's Worth Believing, Farewell to Annabel) are absolutely haunting, they are so moving.

Gordon Lightfoot is hard to come by here in Sweden, so when I saw Old Dan's & Dreamstreet rose in a used cd-shop I jumped at it. the "rose" is not nearly as good as "Old Dan's". THis does not mean that OD is outstanding in any way! Sure, there are a few gems on here, but so are there on all gord's cd's. He has only himself to blame. If he persists in spoiling us, his audience, with great music, he will get no slack when he's on the downsloap...
All of gord's pre-80's catalogue is more or less flawless. This record is one of the less interesting from this period, but still it's a darn good waste of time!

Basically this is a pleasant enough offering but for Lightfoot the songwriting is pretty average.

A bit of an out-of-the-ordinary feel
This is a very good album. It's just difficult to pick up a vibe from it in my opinion. It is hypnotic and I find myself listening to it time and again. Read more

A jewel of an album
This may very well be my favorite Gordon Lightfoot album of them all. If you ask an average fan what their top 10 favorite Lightfoot songs are, I'd be willing to bet none of them... Read more
