Vinyl plays with occasional crackles (play-graded). Cover looks okay; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing and discoloration spots on back; heavier scuffing and tiny surface abrasions on front; surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (WB ads); bottom seam partially split. Spine is mostly easy-to-read with wear. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Old Dan's Records by Gordon Lightfoot reached No. 1 in Canada and remained there for three weeks. In the U.S., it peaked at No. 95 on the pop chart. Two singles were spawned from the album: You Are What I Am and Can't Depend on Love. 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".
