In case you didn't already know, Cockburn is generally regarded as being a folk singer. I guess that's right, though this record has some jazz influences on it. The sound is fuller, darker, and perhaps a little more complex than the previous albums. Already, there are signs of Cockburn's rebirth as a Christian. In God Bless the Children, he sings:
With pain the world paves us over
Lord let us not betray
God bless the children with visions of the Day
I have never been able to reconcile Cockburn's obvious interest in social justice with the stupidity of religion.
