Strange Fire is the first full-length album by folk rock duo Indigo Girls. It was originally released independently on Indigo Records in Canada with eleven tracks. Epic Records signed the duo in 1988, and after their eponymous second album became a commercial success in early 1989, Epic re-released this album in the United States with a different running order, two tracks removed, and a new track (a folk cover of the 1960s hit "Get Together") added. The Epic version was remastered and reissued in 2000 with two bonus tracks.
