Fire of Love is the debut album of the American rock band the Gun Club, released in 1981 on Ruby Records. Reviews have been highly positive, citing strong songwriting and performances which fused punk rock with blues music. Though he would later return to the band, the album does not feature founding guitarist Kid Congo Powers, who had been asked to join the Cramps in late 1980 shortly after starting the Gun Club with frontman and songwriter Jeffrey Lee Pierce.
