Gnossis & Innocence

"I have been a Bruce Cockburn fan since 1971. This is still my favorite album. His heartfelt singing, perception, and songwriting on this album hearken back to an age of joyful innocence and wisdom tempered by an awareness of the eternal, and potentially harmonious, dance between, spirit and matter, nature and humanity, and the pure wonder of just being alive on this beautiful planet."

"Bruce Cockburn is in transition on Sunwheel Dance. Good things are happening. The early folk material still predominates. My Lady and My Lord is a fun, little ditty. The Deluxe version just released offers a second version with just his guitar, which is delightful and better than the original. Many mellow tunes here, he includes more and better instrumentation than his previous two recordings. The instrumental Sunwheel Dance shows a happy vertuosity by the young man. What an up song: For The Birds. Most of the songs are up. Fall is bluesy. Dialog with the Devil became, I understand, a concert favorite. My favorite is the anti war song: It's Going Down Slow. This one is worth the price of admission.

You can see Cockburn's spirit growing on this one."

"It was back in the mid 70s that I had the pleasure to first hear this albumn and the songs have remained in my head all these years!



I recommend this particular album to anyone who enjoys insight-full, meaning-full lyrics with a wide collection of musical instruments played in a variety of styles by an accomplished musician."
