Bruce Cockburn (Another Canadian artist!!)
Another performer I listened to a lot in the mid-70s is Bruce Cockburn!
My son~ a teenager at the time~ would often present me with music to listen to and was delighted when he found something for me that I really liked!
Bruce Cockburn was one such artist!
The album I remember best was his 'In the Falling Dark.' During that time Bruce Cockburn's lyrics usually had a little bit of a religious touch to them...or at least a praise and recognition for our creation!
... I remember a few songs from that album....'Lord of the Star Fields' and 'Little Sea Horse,' come to mind! And of course, 'In the Falling Dark.'
I have not kept up with his career a lot, in recent years but understand that in his own homeland (Canada) he has remained very popular!
From my research I learn that the album I remember is among his best works! :)
No wonder I was so impressed all those years ago!!
Go here for the song list and samples of all the songs on that album!

In addition to being a great poet/lyricist, Bruce Cockburn is one very fine guitarist, as this video demonstrates!
'Water Into Wine,' is also from the above mentioned album!
Hope you enjoyed this! I have been enthused in exploring the music of Bruce Cockburn again!
Love,
Junie

Hello dear Junie:-)
I don't blog or visit for a couple of days and it feels like I've been away for a month! lol
Glad to see that you've been enjoying Bruce Cockburn's music...I've never been a big fan of his but I can appreciate what a fine guitarist he is:-) I think I have his Christmas CD somewhere...will look for it and if I find it, will let you know and send it to you if you want it!
Take care dear friend. xoxo
Hi Pea,
I missed you on the weekend! Happy you're back in blogland!
:) You are sooo generous (offering me the Cockburn Christmas cd) but I have it already! That is - if it's the one where he's sitting out in the snow in a white lawn chair...
Same one- right??
I liked Cockburn, mainly, for his lyrics! (I love words- ya know! haha.) But- yes- he really is a good guitar player, too!
Hugs)))
