Fire on Ice


Fire on Ice is a studio album from American folk and rhythm and blues musician Terry Callier. Released by Elektra Records in 1978, this is the artist's fifth album and the first with Elektra, released after a four-year break from recording. It has received mixed critical reception.

Critical reception

The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide gave the release three out of five stars, with Thom Jurek writing that the album is Callier's most confounding and "it's hard to know whom to blame for making a mess of what was arguably a solid album", noting that the shift to disco does not work for Callier and that some songs are overproduced but sums up that the release has its own "strangeness and charm".
