KICK AT THE DARKNESS
 
 
Kick at the Darkness  is a tribute album to Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn, released in 1991.  The title comes from a line in the song “Lovers in a Dangerous Time”:  "gotta kick at the darkness ’til it bleeds daylight”.  The album was released on Intrepid Records.  Due to the album’s success, Intrepid compiled a Joni Mitchell tribute album, Back to the Garden, the following year.  Kick at the Darkness includes Barenaked Ladies’ rendition of “Lovers in a Dangerous Time”, their first significant chart hit in Canada.  (More from Wikipedia)
