Bruce Cockburn: Mummy Dust (True North). The shy folkie who evolved into a man who stated what he would like to do to imperialist forces if he had a rocket launcher, this now reissued collection of Bruce Cockburn tunes from 1969 to 1980 represents the Canadian singer-songwriter at arguably his finest. From simple acoustic tunes to Hugh Marsh's searing violin breaks on the moving "Loner," from the unbridled William Blake-ish innocence of "Joy Will Find A Way" to the bittersweet mild-rocker "The Coldest Night Of The Year," these songs bring together the heart and mind of an individual who found himself -- through hismusic -- on stage in front of thousands, all the while retaining his integrity, intelligence and insightful soulfulness. A heartfelt, honest, haunting collection that in the space of 45 minutes reaches out and touches all but the coldest heart, a collection that captures Cockburn at his very, very best.
