Free Music Review: ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been listening to Bruce for over 20 years and have seen him live 5 times. This is one of my favorites of his. He released several in the eighties that I hold in high regard as well. If you ever get a chance to see him live, by all means do so. He is a virtuoso and someone who respects his audience. I do not understand the celtic and Islamic comments by the editor. Bruce is well known for his Christian beliefs, although he can also be a strong critic of Christianity as it is practiced. I can only assume the editor doesn't know much about him. For the record, although he affects a number of styles, including some blues, his unique guitar style is probably most affected by his formal training in jazz in college.
The Charity of Night Poster
Why doesn't Toronto's Bruce Cockburn have the same high-level critical reputation and midlevel cult following as Richard Thompson? After all, they're both dazzling, Celtic-Islamic rock guitar pickers and the writers of vivid if gloomy songs which they deliver in foggy baritones. The big difference is Cockburn's left-wing Christianity, which can be as unrelentingly earnest as Bono's. Cockburn lightens up a little bit on The Charity of Night; he adds Laurie Anderson-like, film noir monologs to four songs and allows nakedly romantic feelings to emerge in two quietly pretty love songs. The prominent presence of bassist Rob Wasserman and vibist Gary Burton give a jazzy elasticity to Cockburn's usual folk rock. Cockburn's reputation among his fellow musicians is reflected in guest appearances by Bonnie Raitt, Bob Weir, Patty Larkin, Ani DiFranco, and Jonatha Brooke--maybe the public will catch up this time around. --Geoffrey HimesFolk Music CDs
