The 1986 Listening Post - Corey Hart - Fields of Fire

Corey Hart - Fields of Fire



#385/2064
September 16 1986
Corey Hart
Fields of Fire
Genre: Schmaltz Rock
2.25 out of 5

Requisite 80s cover:
“Can’t Help Falling in Love”. When that classic is the only breakout track on your album you have officially wasted 50 minutes of my life. Thanks.


I think I’ve said this before and I will say it again: Corey Hart is a 4th place finisher on Pop Idol if it was around at the time. 
Not only are these songs dull, they are long and dull. It takes all the way to the middle of Side Two to hear any breath of life from Corey in the John Parr/Robert Palmer-esque “Is It Too Late?”.

The answer is, Yes, Corey. Yes. By far.
