KC P. from STUARTS DRAFT, VA
Reviewed on 4/15/2011...

I like to think that this is the start of the "prog-rock" era of Bruce Cockburn's catalog. Starting in 1969 with acoustic/Christian folk music, through his progressive jazz albums, then with the advent of music videos and this album. "Rocket Launcher" got him some attention south of the border (USA), but not the oft-written about fame here in the States that he has in the Great White North. Don't know which Cockburn album Bruce himself likes the best--probably has many over his 40+ years in the biz at an average of one work a year--but if you'd like to hear his work I would recommend these "Essential BC" albums: Nothing But A Burning Light, Christmas, Humans and Big Circumstance.

CD Reviews

A fine, underrated effort

FinChase | Arlington, TX USA | 05/18/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I've been a big fan of Bruce Cockburn's since "Stealing Fire", and I own most of his earlier work now. This is not his finest album, but it's very good. "I Don't Feel Your Touch" is one of the most poignant broken heart songs you'll find, and the playful, thoughtful "Shipwrecked At the Stable Door" is wonderful. Give it a listen; you won't regret it."

Essential Canadian content

"Carries the anger of "If I had a Rocket Launcher" (Where the Death Squad Lives), and environmentalism (Radium Rain, If a Tree Falls), and love (Pangs of Love), and so much more. I just re-listened to my tape (CD on "will-get" list), and every emotion is portrayed in these 11 songs. Plus, can the man ever pick guitar! One for the ages!"
