Old Dan's Records is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's ninth original album, released in 1972 on the Reprise Records label. The album reached #1 in Canada on the RPM national album chart on November 5, 1972, and remained there for three weeks.[4] In the U.S., it peaked at #95 on the pop chart.
The album marks a continued evolution in Lightfoot's sound as he begins to add country influences to his standard folk sound with the help of the banjo, dobro and steel guitar. Lightfoot would continue to use these country influences in his music until the early 1980s.
Despite its 1972 year of initial release, the album was nominated for and won the 1974 Juno Award for "Folk Album of the Year". Lightfoot also won a Juno that year as "Folk Singer of the Year".[5]
