Dream Street Rose is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's 14th original album released in 1980 on the Warner Brothers Records label (#3426). The album peaked at #58 on the country chart and at #60 on the pop chart.
The album continues in the style of Summertime Dream (1976) and Endless Wire (1978), with a mix of faster-paced, country style songs and introspective folk ballads. Lightfoot's penchant for seafaring songs was again evident with three songs featuring an ocean theme.
The album also featured a recorded version of "The Auctioneer" which had been a concert staple for Lightfoot, although it seemed somewhat out of place when compared to the rest of the album's material.
It was also the last album that would see Lightfoot collaborate with long-time producer Lenny Waronker.
It was one of the first albums recorded digitally.
"Dream Street Rose" reached #80 on the country singles chart.
