A collection of the best of a career stretching over 3 decades, here is the cream of a catalogue often ranked alongside those of Joni Mitchell, Richard Thompson and Leonard Cohen. Best known outside his native Canada as a literate, political, and sometimes intensely personal contemporary folk singer-songwriter, this career overview serves to demonstrate the various music styles Bruce Cockburn has in fact employed over the years - intricate finger-picked guitar, melodic jazz inflections, joyous world music beats, driving bluesy rock. 20 Gold and Platinum albums, 11 Juno awards, sold-out concert appearances and high-profile recognition from his peers are all evidence of the esteem in which Bruce Cockburn is held in continental America. It can only be a matter of time before he has the same level of recognition worldwide.
