3.5 greatmmmonty | August 13th 20

"Lovers" is, for me, a Top 20 song of all time. If lyrics could bring me to tears, this would be the one to do it. Most of the songs here are fantastic, with some worldbeat-infused arrangement and Cockburn's lyrics. A couple songs are a bit embarrassing in their earnestness and directness ("Yanqui", "Nicaragua") which brings down my score, unfortunately.

4.0 excellentGreenRiver | December 31st 11

One of the most satisfying albums by Cockburn, "Stealing Fire" puts forth a full album of
the beauty and outrage at the depredations of dictators, rebels, and Reagan's political
machine. Among the nine songs that comprise the album, two of them are recognised as
Cockburn greats, "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" and "Lovers in a Dangerous Time".
