If'n
If'n is the second album by the American alternative rock band fIREHOSE, released in 1987. The album name is a reference to the Bob Dylan song "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The left side of the album cover has a picture of Hüsker Dü, friends of the band and labelmates at SST Records."For the Singer of R.E.M." was a tribute to the alternative rock band R.E.M., who had invited Firehose's predecessor Minutemen to join them on the tour to support the 1985 album Fables of the Reconstruction. When Minutemen singer D Boon died in a car crash shortly after the tour, R.E.M. organized a benefit concert for Boon's family and remained friendly with Minutemen Mike Watt and George Hurley, who would go on to form Firehose with singer/guitarist Ed Crawford.

If'n
If'n is the second album by the American alternative rock band Firehose, released in 1987. The sound on the album is less incendiary than Ragin', Full On, moving away from the harder-edged Minutemen style to a mellower, funk-driven, humorous, "good-time rock'n'roll" direction. The songs are also more stylistically consistent - where the previous album had material from various sources, If'n is more centered on Mike Watt's writing, showing a band that has gelled and found its own identity apart from Watt and Hurley's previous band Minutemen. Many of the songs remained audience favorites for years to come. The album includes the group's first "heavy" song, "Thunder Child". The album name is a reference to an episode of the television show Bewitched, which has a song called "If'n". The left side of the album cover has a picture of Hüsker Dü, Minutemen's former colleagues at SST Records.
