Name: (The Rev.) Wilfred Langmaid Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada Time: 1997-04-11 04:53:00 Comments: Dear Frank, I have enjoyed finding your web site. My major piece on Bruce's new album just appeared in this month's edition of The Anglican Journal (the national newspaper of The Anglican Church of Canada - circulation 265,000). I also wrote a smaller (but still full-length) review in The Daily Gleaner, the daily of Fredericton, New Brunswick for whom I have been the music columnist since 1981. I thought that you might enjoy having a copy of the major piece. I'm off to Portland today to see tomorrow night's show!

Due to the lovely word count feature, I can tell you conclusively that this article is just over 1,400 words. I truly enjoyed writing this, and think that it is the best thing I’ve written in quite some time. It was really enjoyable to be able to do some reflecting in the light of my music review. I trust that the column is good reading for you folks, and for our readers. I will see that a photo and album jacket are sent to you (I’ll also try to get them to send the actual CD as a courtesy -- needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend it for your listening, Janet!) Bethany is now eating solids (1 tablespoon mixed in a bowl with some breast milk once a day) as part of her regular feeding schedule. She is all the more responsive and active -- and all the more a joy. ... and I am reminded that we STILL have not sent you a picture. We willrectify this within the week -- honest. In Christ’s Love, Wilfred+ LANGMAID ON MUSIC Bruce Cockburn : The Charity Of Night - True North / Ryko / MCA While several artists have fit into the general scope of this column -- an examination of contemporary music in light of Christian spirituality, few are such as natural a fit as Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn. Cockburn is an oft-prophetic voice in a fallen world. In the midst of personal, political, and ideological evil, Cockburn has both expressed righteously-jaundiced anger and affirmed membership in and hope for the human race. He sees humanity as the part of God’s creation made in the image of God, redeemed by Christ’s Blood. As such, he sees the central Christian ethic to be to live according to the love of God. Now 52 years old and 23 albums into his career, Cockburn is not part of the hit-making mainstream. His hits are, as he has put it, occasional “accidents”. His new album The Charity Of Night is more to be seen as an artistic statement, and it will be so received by his legion of fans. Cockburn has much to offer to his many fans. Primarily, he is an amazing lyrical poet, who has been favourably and aptly compared to Wallace Stevens and T.S. Eliot. The lyrics, among other things, continue to chronicle an evolving Christian walk. Cockburn himself prefers the term “evolution” to Christianity rather than “conversion” to describe his journey. The melodies, meanwhile, are not distracting. Rather, they are skeletons drawn into the craft of the wordsmith, serving as perfect vehicles for his inventive, tuneful, and virtuosic guitar playing and his hooking quaver of a voice. He sometimes delivers free-flowing lines whose blizzards of imagery just fit into a measure, and sometimes presents biting, staccato lines leaving spaces filled by economic but always intense accompaniment. After the wide-eyed hippie folkie of the early 70s gave way to the growing Christian pilgrim as that decade evolved, Cockburn’s life took a tumble when his marriage dissolved in the late 70s. From that personal and spiritual crisis, Cockburn spent his years on the backside of 30 exploring the brokenness of Central America. It profoundly metamorphosed his music. This is most vividly shown on what has been called his North/South trilogy of albums in the mid 80s, and his prophetic voice continues to be the lifeblood of his craft. Musically, Cockburn has chosen a group of inventive, standard-bearing vets this time around -- stand-up bass master Rob Wasserman, vibraphone legend Gary Burton, and drummer’s drummer Gary Craig. Cameo people do what they do well without attracting attention, such as Bonnie Raitt’s slide work and Bob Weir’s winsome ballad vocal harmonies that were their stock in trade before either became trendy. Conistently, the backers are more concerned with grooves and licks than they are with showboating. They, like Cockburn himself, add exclamation points to his lyrical tales while allowing the storyteller the primacy of his words. Familiar territiory is charted musically -- the minor chord mid-tempo grooves of “Get Up, Jonah”and “The Coming Rains”, the jazzy late70s/early 80s sound in “Mistress Of Storms”, the spoken word stanza / jazzily tuneful chorus of “Birmingham Shadows” and “The Charity Of Night”. There was some thought that Cockburn had mellowed with his last album Dart To The Heart. As the title suggests, love was the chief topic. With The Charity Of Night, however, there is a wider scope to another intensely-personal statement from a concerned citizen of the world God gave us. To wit, “The Mines Of Mozambique” is a razor-sharp indictment of the poison of land mines in the latter part of this millenium. Seven years after his first visit to the African country, Cockburn returned to Mozambique in 1995. The album opener “Night Train” is another reflection by the long-time self-described grim traveller. A chilling snapshot of the human condition, it reminds us that “everyone’s an island edged with sand” while using the train’s musical and lyrical metaphor for a world where everybody seems to be looking for one means or another to escape: “And in the absence of a vision there are nightmares / And in the absence of compassion there is cancer / Whose banner flies over palaces and mean streets / And the rhythm of the night train is a mantra.” (The album’s lead single and video, “Night Train” led to a typically Bruce publicity campaign by his first truly in-tune distributor stateside. Rykodisc celebrated Cockburn’s long-time literate conscience by pledging $5.00 per Broadcast Date Systems spin of this single to the U.S. Campaign to Ban Landmines.) In light of this eloquent album, Cockburn’s own press comments must be heeded. He admits “In a sense, these songs are all part of a longer conversation, but the conversation is not about me. It’s about our shared experience. And it has to be true. I’m not singing a bunch of stories I made up.” The man who uses two watershed experiences -- one as a 19 year old in 1964 and one at age 40 in 1985 -- to catalyze the title track makes his travels his song’s creators in many cases. There are the encounters of “Live On My Mind” and “The Coming Rains” on the one hand and the dream sequence piece “Get Up Jonah” on the other. In the latter, Cockbutn comes off as the aging but still vital pilgrim: “The high vault of heaven / Looks far away and cold / There’s howling in the factory yard / There’s pounding in my head / I’m swollen up with unshed tears / Bloated like the dead / Blood and ashes -- time burning / On a skyline dark against the stars / A solitary horseman -- waiting.” When it is all said and done, humanity calls for the prophet’s voice: “Lashed to the wheel / Whipping into the storm / Get up Jonah / It’s your time to be born.” After all of the observations of another profound album, and after the legion of tasty licks, rhythms, and progressions that mark this neat vehicle for Cockburn’s songwriting and elegant guitar playing, The Charity Of Night may ultimately be remembered as Bruce Cockburn’s crystal clear glimpse into his soul at age 52. After all of the albums, all of the acclaim, and all of the adulation which is his within the music world, he chooses the metaphor of the caged animal for himself on the self-revelation track “Pacing The Cage”. With even more instrumental restraint than normal on an album by players who personify the axiom “less is more”, Cockburn tells us who he is, or at least who he felt like sitting with pen in hand in his room on tour in Philadelphia on the Feast of St. John the Baptist in 1985. For those who would make him an infallible prophet -- a fail-safe shaman -- he poignantly sings: “Sunset is an angel weeping / Holding out a bloody sword / No matter how I squint I cannot / Make out what it’s pointing toward / Sometimes you feel like you’ve lived too long / Days drip slowly on the page / You catch yourself / Pacing the cage. I’ve proven who I am so many times / The magnetic strip’s worn thin / And each time I was someone else / And everyone was taken in / Powers chatter in high places / Stir up eddies in the dust of rage / Set me to pacing the cage. I never knew what you all wanted / So I gave you everything / All that I could pillage / All the spells that I could sing / It’s as if the thing were written / In the constitution of the age / Sooner or later you’ll wind up / Pacing the cage. Sometimes the best map will not guide you / You can’t see what’s round the bend / Sometimes the road leads through dark places / Sometimes the darkness is your friend / Today these eyes scan bleached-out land / For the coming of the outbound stage / Pacing the cage.” It all leads to a still questioning pilgrim who sings to his God “you’ve been leading me beside strange waters” in the closing track “Strange Waters”. “Where is my pastureland in these dark valleys? If I lose my grip, will I take flight?”, he queries as his album’s closing words. The part of the journey to be spent on this mortal coil, with its blend of joy and sorrow, married with the hope in the life to come, remain Bruce Cockburn’s uniquely crafted chronicle. It is our privilege to glimpse upon it yet again. Oops, I tried to get to the top to edit this -- and actually write a personal note. I can't. I am a neophyte on the net! So, your note begins with a note to someone else who has a web site. Sorry! |

It was during the existentialism discussion. Imagine that! Have all the albums since Dancing. What makes Bruce really good is that I don't particularly like a disc the first 2-4 times but it grows and grows until I can't stop listening. There's no sugar coating that causes one to quickly gag. Just a deep, often hidden flavor that's worth going back to again and again. I'm new to surfing and look forward to talking to some Humans on the journey. |

From: Tallahassee, FL, USA Time: 1997-03-01 16:08:00 Comments: I've been a fan since 1980, and have lots of "old vinyl", virtually everything released on the True North lable. The live album Circles in the Stream changed my life profoudly from the perspective of "Grow up, you, grow up me...", and "The Burning Man".... I've been to shows in Seattle and Santa Rosa CA (twice) and would like to see a show in or near Tallahassee some time.... Somehow, Canadian singer/songwriters have deeply affected my life in an uncanny way. Bruce C., Neil Young, Joni M., Sarah MacLaughlin and Gordon Lightfoot have all helped keep me functional and my insanity at bay. Keep up the good work. Your music helps me greatly as a scientist and researcher who studies birds and forests and how they can be managed. |

I had heard on the radio that bruce said that every word was true, except for one word, I have my suspicions,but I'd like to know for sure. I'm referring to the song "charity..." I hear in his music, something only a few poets,artists and yes song writers pull-off rarely, and that is to touch upon a great restless ness within the human condition----- i.e. the great Leonard Cohen. I'm thrilled to have found another artist i can sink my teeth into !! |

I didn't hear know who he was until my sister sent me some of his stuff when she was living in Canada. Ever since then I've been totally hooked. I have almost all of his albums and can't wait until the next time can see him in concert. I think one of the reasos I like him so much is because he's not afraid to take a stance on human rights issues. Two years ago I wrote him a letter asking him what fell on Saskatchewan in 1885 and he actually wrote me back giving me a brief explination. I think it's great that he's apreciative (sp?)of his fans!! Thanks for all the great music Bruce!! |

I have made it a goal to spread the word on his talents since then. I have seen him in Concert both alone and with a full band and never walked away unsatisfied. I have turned others on to his music and made it a crusade to get others hooked as well. This hasn't been that easy as it must just well be that his "music is too ..high for the human ear".

Canada Time: 1997-02-04 21:57:00 Comments: It's Feb fouth and I just went and bought the CD this morning, I was the first one in the store. I have had an advance copy of Charity of Night for the past three weeks, but I still had to get the CD today. My tradition has been to buy two copys of Cockburns New releases since "the trouble with normal" album, and give one away. This new disc is great, it remindes me of his earlier works that Martynec produced, "Salt Sun and Time", "Further Adventures of" and alike. I also love the page you've produced, good for any burnhead, or human to get their fill of Cockburnia. greatfully yours Stephen R. Hopkins |

Name: Gord Ellis Website: Referred by: Net Search From: Thunder Bay Time: 1997-02-04 21:04:00 Comments: Bruce is one of my all time faves. Great guitar, brilliant songwriting and soulful singing.I've been a fan since the late 70s and have enjoyed the musical trip. Stealing Fire in 1984, was the soundtrack of my summer. Who did put the hole in Peggy's Kitchen Wall? I've seen BC about 8 times, and he's never put on a boring show. My favourite concert was a one off, all acoustic show in 1990, in Thunder Bay. Magical. Finding this web sight was great surprise. Excellent work. |

I am thrilled to connect to such a great site. I am really looking forward to introducing "Bruce - LIVE!" to my husband during this upcoming tour.

The site seems cool enough, though I haven't really got the time and patience to download everything you've got to offer, I was also interested to see he's playing the UK this year, though I won't be there to hear him. Thanks. Ben Hardwidge. |

Name: Dagmar Fulle Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Frankfurt/Main, Germany Time: 1997-01-29 13:26:00 Comments: I am a music journalist and radio DJ who did a 45-minute- interview with Bruce in December 96 which was SIMPLY GREAT! We talked about his musical heritage, about the music he likes to listen to (he LOVES female songwriters, especially Ani DiFranco - who also appears on his new album - and Sam Phillips who has been a friend of his for quite a while), about his belief, the "darkness" in his songs, the Canadian music scene and a lot of other things. He is a wonderful person to talk to - although I have been doing my job for about 13 years now there are still magic moments. Meeting Bruce was one. I just fell in love with him and I hope he will finally receive the popularity he deserves! I will present him and his new album in a 75-minute-show on February 4, the issue date of his new album. Stay tuned! Dagmar |

Needless to say. The Evening was pontifically perfect in presentation and Mssr Cockburn so smooooooth. The instrumental of the {Dart} wowed the crowed. A very small venue but I also saw a marvelous show at Rockefellers with the Bruce bangin the chimes asmopherically. One cool [ how do you hear a tree fall ] dude. /Henri |

Moved to US from Toronto in '85 and Bruce became my cultural touchstone. Always hold him up as the epitome of everything right in music in general (save perhaps for T-bone's production work) and Canadian music in particular. Got a chance to meet him in Alabama in '95. Thankfully he only exceeded my expectations. He was very polite and appreciative and giving of his time to those fans who found their way back. A very genuine and humble man. And he give s Killer concerts!!!!!!!! Good luck with the page. I'll keep checking in. |
