"Call Me Up in Dreamland" is a song that was written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter, Van Morrison and included on his 1970 album, His Band and the Street Choir. Brian Hinton describes the song as "life on the road, with 'radio' as a verb and laughing sax."[1]
Recording and composition
The song was recorded in summer, 1970 at the A&R Recording Studios, 46th Street, New York, during the second His Band and the Street Choir sessions.[2]
"Call Me Up in Dreamland" features a moderate 4/4 tempo. It is in the key of A major, with a chord sequence in the verses of A–E–D–A–D–E–A–D–A–E–D–A–D–E–A–D and the chorus of A–D–A–E–A–D–A–E–E♭–D–A. The song also has a tenor saxophone solo from Morrison.[3] The song is composed in a gospel style and prominently features the vocal backing group the Street Choir.[4]
Chart performance
In June 1971 "Call Me Up in Dreamland" rose to No. 95 in the Billboard Hot 100 music charts.[5]
According to Cash Box, the single release was "preceded by exceptional FM play and good AM in-LP picks."[6]
Record World said that it "always sounded like a hit" and was "great stuff for rádio play."[7]
