Subject: RE: 'Why Bruce (Cockburn) Matters Now'
I hate to disagree with you, 'thief. I was extremely impressed with Bruce's latest effort. His choice of instrumentation to color the songs was really interesting. And his images are so striking now. He brings to mind an artist who knows exactly where to put the paint on the canvas.

I still think that Nothing But a Burning Light (I think that's the title) is my favorite BC recording, along with Stealing Fire. And all the rest. His writing seems to have deepened somehow and his skills as a player and singer are right up there with the best.
