Dart to the Heart is an album by the Canadian musician Bruce Cockburn, released in 1994.[2][3] Cockburn considered it to be primarily an album of love songs.[4]
The album peaked at No. 176 on the Billboard 200.[5] Its first single was "Listen for the Laugh", which was a hit on adult alternative airplay radio.[6][7] Cockburn supported the album by touring with Patty Larkin.[8]
The album was produced by T Bone Burnett and mixed by Glyn Johns.[9][10] It was recorded at Bearsville Studios, in New York, although it was Cockburn's original intention to record the "quieter" songs in Los Angeles with a different group of musicians.[11][12] Greg Leisz played pedal steel on Dart to the Heart.[13]
"Closer to the Light" is a tribute to the American musician Mark Heard, who died in 1992.[14] "Train in the Rain" is an instrumental.[15] "Scanning These Crowds" is about Louis Riel.[16]
