Another flawless addition to his extensive folk-rock oeuvre, Canadian singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn continues to incite debate and examination and anger with a typically smart set of songs. "Dream Like Mine" starts off Nothing But A Burning Light with a bang, appealing to a wider pop-audience while retaining his concrete-like integrity. "Cry Of A Tiny Babe" is the Ottawa boy's Christmas carol while "Great Big Love" and "Somebody Touched Me" give the body of the album a little bit of heart and soul. This is a must-have for Cockburn collectors, an album that couldn't disappoint even if it tried.

From the Critics

Down Beat (2/92, pg.44) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "..may be his most satisfying collection to date...Strong, memorable songs are mated to a generally appealing persona of gritty folksiness.." Q Magazine (4/92, pg.72) - 3 Stars - Good New York Times (1/1/92) - "..The Canadian singer and songwriter brings a new warmth to his usual mixture of mysticism, politics and romance.."
