I've heard every Cockburn album since "Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws",
but I don't think my recommendation will help Stu much because I find
the music on "Stealing Fire" far more interesting than any of the other
albums.  "Inner City Front" is my second favourite, and I don't think it's
as political as "Stealing Fire" or "Humans".
