Little Dreamer is an album by the British blues rock musician Peter Green, who was the founder of Fleetwood Mac and a member from 1967–70.^[1] Released in 1980, this was his third solo album, and the second in his 'middle period' of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Most of the tracks on the album were written by Green's brother Mike.

Critical reception

The Globe and Mail wrote that the album "is late-night guitar music, a rocker's answer to the mellow jazz guitar of Jimmy Hall... The over-all feel of the music is blues without pain."^[2]
