There has not been a singing poet of this Stature since David wrote his psalms. Would that all men had this facility of self expression.
"Shake hands with the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, the impossible believer. and the heavenly host If you must do it better you just got to do it the most. Make way for the lady. You can do it my son."
This seems to be a song about the Virgin Mary. Heady stuff actually.

This IS my Favorite Lightfoot Album.......2007-06-20

Having complied 20 or more Lightfoot LPs, I was glad when I could switch to COMPACT discs. But it took FOREVER for this, my favorite, to come out on CD. It finally did and now I can sit back and enjoy the entire experience.

Musician, Songwriter, Composer, Poet And Matchmaker! .......2006-03-11

Released in '80 'Dream Stree Rose' was Gordon's fourteenth album. I happened to be dating seriously at the time of its release and thought this girl might be the one, so I put her to the test. I gave her a copy of this album along with one of his early releases; 'Back Here On Earth.' I told her "You'd better learn to love this music if you want to keep dating me" (stupid, but absolutely true).

She loved it and we will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this coming August. Ahh... the power of a true poet. Thanks Gordon!

'Dream Street Rose' contains -10 tracks- of solid Lightfoot compositions, my favorites are; 'Ghosts Of Cape Horn', 'Whisper My Name' and 'If You Need Me.'

A Must Have for Gordon Fans.......2005-09-02

I have loved this album ever since I was 12 years old (37 now). It has a very solid classic Gordon Lightfoot style and yet I feel it is showcases some of the best lyrics that Gordon ever put to paper. The album is a bit less rocky than it's predecessor "Salute".... It carries a bit more of a folky tone, with a dash of Steel Guitar, played awesomely by Pee Wee Charles...very laid back and smooth. It is a great CD to just sit back and watch the leaves fall from the trees on an autumn day. Gordon fans from Michigan, Ontario, or Quebec will feel right at home with this CD, I recommend track 4 "On the High Seas". Salut Mes Amis

Last great effort?......Not!.......2003-10-22

My mom & dad have raised me on Mr. Lightfoot's music as well as folk and classic rock stuff! I know his stuff as well anything I have from today's stars. We can tell you that his last well received album was Shadows,not Dream Street Rose! My Dad told me that "Baby Step Back" hit #50 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart back in 1982. I have listened to both back to back on our CD player and they are both about equal. To all of the people shopping out there,get them both and get all of Gordon Lightfoot's work! It's worth your money. Bye-Bye!
