Bruce Cockburn: Small Sources of Comfort
True North
This mixed collection of instrumentals, political/topical commentary and personal singer/songwriting is what we’ve come to expect from Canada’s perennial folk-hero Bruce Cockburn. He doesn’t like corporations and sees the contradictions that come with living in the modern world (“The Iris of the World”). He went to Afghanistan to witness the Canadian Army and its wonder and sorrow. He remembers his mother (“Lois on the Autobahn”). He’s inspired by jazz violinist Jenny Schienman and co-writes several tunes with fellow Canadian Annabelle Chvostek (The Wailin’ Jennys). An old closer written in 1968 (“Gifts”) is put to tape. It’s the work of an elder statesman who’s shied away from writing many anthems and stuck with his whims, as wry or private as they may be.
