Bruce Cockburn: Dart to the Heart

With the exception of a few revved-up numbers (some with slide guitar and horns), this is a fairly subdued affair, featuring Cockburn's exquisite guitar work and insightful lyricism that is simultaneously grounded and mystical. A typically fine album for this consummate artist.
-- Rick Clark, All Music Guide
