Our Take

Bruce Cockburn, the Canadian troubadour known for his intricate guitar work and poetic lyrics, is back with his latest record "Crowing Ignites." And let me tell you, this album is like a warm cup of tea on a cold, rainy day - soothing and satisfying.

From the opening track "Bardo Rush" to the closing notes of "Sweetness and Light," Cockburn showcases his masterful fingerpicking skills and knack for storytelling. Each song feels like a journey, with intricate melodies and thought-provoking lyrics that stay with you long after the music fades.

One standout track is "Pibroch: The Wind in the Valley," a haunting instrumental piece that transports you to the Scottish Highlands with its swirling guitar riffs and evocative melodies. It's a testament to Cockburn's ability to create vivid sonic landscapes with just his guitar and his imagination.

But it's not all introspective ballads and contemplative instrumentals - tracks like "The Groan" and "Blind Willie" inject a bit of rock 'n' roll energy into the mix, showing that Cockburn can still kick up a storm when he wants to.

Overall, "Crowing Ignites" is a testament to Cockburn's enduring talent and creativity. It's a must-listen for fans of folk, rock, and everything in between. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let Bruce Cockburn serenade you with his latest musical masterpiece. Cheers.
