Bruce Cockburn

Few recording artists are as creative and prolific as Bruce Cockburn. Since his self-titled debut in 1970, the Canadian singer-songwriter has issued a steady stream of acclaimed albums every couple of years. After a short break in songwriting, Bruce was spurred back when he received an invitation to contribute a song to a documentary film about the late, seminal Canadian poet Al Purdy; and he created Bone On Bone.

Bone On Bone - his 33rd album - is built around the musicianship of Bruce’s on guitar and the core accompaniment of bassist John Dymond, drummer Gary Craig. accordionist John Aaron Cockburn and the fluegelhorn player Ron Miles. The album arrives with 11 new songs and there’s a prevalent urgency and anxious tone to much of it, which Bruce attributes to living in America during the Trump era. But, more than anything, Bone On Bone amounts to the deepest expression of Bruce’s spiritual concerns to date.

Bruce, who recently won the inaugural People’s Voice Award at the Folk Alliance International conference, continues to find inspiration in the world around him and channel those ideas into songs. More than forty years after embarking on his singer-songwriting career, Bruce keeps kicking at the darkness so that it might bleed daylight.
