I know that some people think of him as cheesy. To the contrary, I find him so brave in his willingness to consistently expose both his emotional vulnerability and his spiritual beliefs. Plus, he rocks.  |

Get Up Jonah, Nightrain, Mines of Mozambique, Pacing the Cage. this album sports 'em all. and cover art by comic book artist Bill Sienkiewicz is just a complete unexpected bonus.  Hear! Hear!  Bruce Cockburn is one of the greatest of singer-songwriters: a great poet who sings his poems. He's in a league with the best (even those whom some say can't sing) like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Neil Young, IMHO. |

I know this isn't true... but it FEELS like this song should give anyone goosebumps when listening to it. I know its not true because I've played it for several people who were like "Meh... its ok". I love it though. By far my favorite song of his.

As I sit here thinking about viewing the Perseid meteor shower this weekend, this song comes on.
Haunting.

Amazon, here I come. I've always been a Cockburn fan, but he has SO many albums to choose from....can't buy 'em all...
This song is hauntingly beautiful! |

I said it once before and I'll say it again. This is hands-down my favorite Bruce Cockburn album. The track "Bermingham Shadows" blows me away every time.
