In the Falling Dark

by Bruce Cockburn

The Canadian folk artist utilizes incredibly intricate, jazz-inflected acoustic guitar fingerpicking to anchor this deeply introspective set of songs. Moving away from purely pastoral themes, the album begins to grapple more directly with spiritual searching and sharp social observation. The meticulously crafted record cemented his reputation as a masterful, highly literate contemporary songwriter within the North American folk scene.
