In the Falling Dark

In the Falling Dark is the seventh studio album by Canadian singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn. The album was released in 1976 by True North Records. It is considered a watershed moment in Cockburn's recording career, as he leaves behind the minimal acoustic arrangements of his earlier albums, presenting a fuller band sound. The album received a Canadian Gold Record Award, and was his first album to chart in the United States, reaching No. 191 in Cash Box.

In a retrospective review, AllMusic critic Brett Hartenbach wrote, "As a whole, this record trumps anything that its predecessors had to offer, almost to the point where it's difficult to imagine that it followed the release of Joy Will Find a Way by only a year.
