Band: Gordon Lightfoot Title: Dream Street Rose Rating:  Release Date: 2002-07-02 Media: Audio CD Tracks: 1: Sea Of Tranquility 2: Ghosts Of Cape Horn 3: Dream Street Rose 4: On The High Seas 5: Whisper My Name 6: If You Need Me 7: Hey You 8: Make Way For The Lady 9: Mister Rock Of Ages 10: The Auctioneer |
However DREAM STREET ROSE, although heavily influenced by country, pulls off a wonderful balance of passionate lyrics, great orchestration, and a well timbered voice. The album before this one had Gord lean too far into country. To the devout Lightfoot fan, I ask if they can find a better string of 5 consecutive songs in an album than the title track followed by ON THE HIGH SEAS, WHISPER MY NAME, IF YOU NEED ME, and HEY YOU.
WHISPER MY NAME and IF YOU NEED ME have got to be 2 of the finest love songs written; and not just by Lightfoot. This album is a great buy for the Lightfoot fan who wants to add to his library, or the listener who's never heard much outside of SUNDOWN, WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD, and CAREFREE HIGHWAY.

Would that all men had this facility of self expression. There has not been a singing poet of this Stature since David wrote his psalms.
"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
But it took FOREVER for this, my favorite, to come out on CD. Having complied 20 or more Lightfoot LPs, I was glad when I could switch to COMPACT discs. It finally did and now I can sit back and enjoy the entire experience. .
Musician, Songwriter, Composer, Poet And Matchmaker!
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. Released in '80 'Dream Stree Rose' was Gordon's fourteenth album. 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
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. I have loved this album ever since I was 12 years old (37 now). 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.
