Bruce Cockburn is a truly amazing talent. He can do pop songs, blues, amazing folk songs, just about anything, but all his songs are "Bruce Cockburn" songs. He has a touch that defines his music in a way that few do.

It's a good question, Mr. Cockburn.  Have you found a answer?  Or will my answer be different than yours?

Right drum! I always think a tweeter has blown in one of my speakers when the audio is separated that much {#Naughty}

Agreed; right drum.

What is the soul of a man?

To take care of his woman, raise his children, laugh at danger and wash it down with a little wine

Saw him do this live this summer.  I was backstage taking pixs (about 10 feet away) and got to listen to the sound board headphones.  Awesome!

Good cover on this classic. But if you REALLY want a chill up the spine, go hear the original. (not a comparison, I just can't forget Blind Willie J.)

Heard so many versions of this, so this one is not all that, though have liked bruce for a long time. Try the Ollablee version of the more recent ones. Earliest version I can recall is Blind Willie Johnson. As an old spirtual song from the south, best sung with some soul, which is not the canadians best suit.

This sure was a great album. It's hard to believe that Bruce has had the career he's had.

I remember the first time I heard "Wondering Where The Lions Are". I just checked, and that was 30 freaking years ago!

Unbelievable!

Rock on, Bruce! {#Wave}

This album was the first one I bought of BC's many; it is incredible (IMO still his best). I went out and bought 10 other albums (and all since) of my new find. Still have his playlist from a great concert in Chatt town.

I agree, if she was that hung up about someone famous getting into a club and her not being able to, she's got some things to come to terms with.
