Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran Canadian songwriter delivered an incredibly rich, highly sophisticated collection of contemporary folk music on his twenty-fourth album[cite: 1]. Cockburn seamlessly incorporates incredibly complex, jazz-inflected progressive folk guitar playing with prominent global rhythms and deeply poetic, often highly political songwriting[cite: 1].
