Being in the orbit of a group of eccentric artists helped to create a transformative year for Cockburn that would further his path toward becoming a world renowned solo artist.
One of the most prolific singer-songwriters to emerge from the '60s, Bruce Cockburn is also the most eclectic, very likely the most honest, and certainly the most overlooked.
Bruce Cockburn played a nearly two-and-a-half-hour set Tuesday night with his new trio at City Winery, part of a North American tour supporting his thirty-first studio release, Small Source of Comfort.
Is there someone out there thinking "if only I could find a CD that features both 'Complicated' by Avril Lavigne and Leonard Cohen's 'Suzanne', my world would be complete?"
The good and great songs easily overpower the middleweights, making for a very strong Bruce Cockburn album that even his casual fans will want to pick up.
