One of the most successful independent releases ever in McKennitt's native Canada, the evocative self-produced 1989 album Parallel Dreams is also Loreena's first recording to feature the artist's own lyrical contributions.

 

From the poignant traditional ballad Annachie Gordon to the fiery Native American/Celtic fusion of Huron 'Beltane' Fire Dance to the evocative tale of a child's yearning for home in Dickens' Dublin (The Palace), Parallel Dreams displays a marked evolution beyond the realm of traditional Celtic music.
