Bruce Cockburn
Tunes for Humans
Vol. 3-Solo Tunes

To celebrate Bruce becoming a father, at 66, for the second time, I though I'd put together a little Cockburn collection to wish him well. I discovered Bruce in 1980, some 12 years after he'd already beome fairly well-known. But his music has been with me ever since. I've tried to include tunes, and performances, from across the spectrum of his stunning career. If I've missed anything its only because his catalogue is so rich and voluminous.

"I've been categorized so many times before that people don't know how to do it anymore," states Cockburn, when questioned about what he would consider his own 'style'. "For me I have to keep moving; I'm a restless person by nature and I have to keep checking out new ways of doing things and that is sort of one of my main approaches to the music that I do...I feel like I have to change the musical context every so often." (www.cockburnproject.net)

A word about compilations: I put these performances together for my personal listening pleasure, and share them for the same reason. I urge you to seek out the entire original performances. Thank you so much to the original tapers and uploaders and all who share this great music (what we do here at DIME is a rare and precious thing). And, of course, thanks, Bruce.

Enjoy,
