Okay, I found out the song "Walk Through Fire" is on the album "Bedtime Stories" by David Baerwald. It seems he not only sang it during the movie's credits, but wrote it. Someone else said it's also done by Copperhead (Hank William Jr.'s old group). ~jj~

Hi Sheila, I realize this answer may be two years late, but for anyone who is interested, the name of the artist is a genius named David Baerwald. No, I'm not related! ;-)
First of all, Baerwald was 1/2 of the brilliant duo David + David in LA, their CD called "Boomtown" being the quintessential indictment of the end of the Reagan 80s and the urban decay beneath the veneer.
In the 90's Baerwald went solo and started the decade with Bedtime Stories, from which the original version of this song comes. This version, on the soundtrack, is diffferent and a new version. You can find it on the web at the DB info source web site.
What many don't know about Baerwald is that he's one of the architects behind Sheryl Crow's amazing "Tuesday Night Music Club" debut, including the Grammy-winning song "All I Wanna Do." Typical of Baerwald, it's got the sheen of a pop song while it tells the story of people who waste away in bars watching the rest of the world pass them by using some of the most vivid lyrics to paint razor sharp pictures. "Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottle of Bud..."
One of the great crimes in music is that for years critics have been screaming David Baerwald's name high from the mountaintops as one of the great song craftsmen of our time. It's almost like the more the critics adore him, the lower his CD sales. And he's never stopped being brilliant.
Hopefully more people such as yourself will hear his soundtrack contributions in smaller flicks such as this, Hurly Burly, Moulin Rouge, Undiscovered, etc., and it will draw them in to search out his body of work which I promise you contains not one mis-step.
Thank you for the info, I just watched the movie last night and fell in love w/the song you are talking about. I ended up hitting rewind just to hear the song over and over. The best parts of the movie for me was Norman Reedus and this song. Thanks again!
Hi Sheila,
I have been searching for that song for about two years now and it was driving me crazy! It is an extremely sentimental song for me that was my song to an old boyfriend where the relationship ended in a fair amount of trauma. I found it very odd that there were no music credits at the end of the movie. I finally (DOH!) took down the info at the beginning of the movie and searched again and am happy to tell you that I found it. David Baerwald is the artist and the song (Walk Through Fire) is on his CD Bedtime Stories. Here's a link: http://www.dbinfosource.com/discog/cdinfo.asp?cd=bs#
Happy listening!!
