		Cockburn already had the words to "Trickle Down." But it was only when he jammed with Milne's band, an avant-garde jazz ensemble featuring harmonic player Gregoire Maret and rapper Kokayi, that the song's improvisational, free-form music took shape.

		Cockburn's first decade of work (1970-1979) is largely literate, singer/songwriter folk-rock, often with a strong Christian tone and mystical, devotional lyrics.
		Cockburn toned down his Christian viewpoint for much of the 1980s, partially as a way of disconnecting himself from the American religious right, which he found antithetical to his own spiritual beliefs, and partially to concentrate on more humanitarian, political subject matter.
		Cockburn's later 1980s work took on a more streamlined rock sound, and his political agenda was weighted towards environmental concerns, as well as oppression.

		Pegged as a Christian mystic in the ‘70s, Cockburn has confounded all sides of his audience, first with a series of decidedly leftist political albums in the ‘80s, albums antithetical to the conservative Reagan zeitgeist of many of his evangelical followers.
		In short, Bruce Cockburn is simply who he is: the creator of some of the most thoughtful, challenging and beautiful songs of the past several decades, a masterful guitarist equally at home with folk, jazz, rock and world music, and a compassionate, caring, restless, ever-searching, world-weary, helpless, socially active, peace-loving, raging bundle of contradictions.
		Cockburn met Milne, the leader of avant-garde jazz ensemble Dapp Theory, after one of Cockburn’s New York gigs, and their ensuing collaboration is proof of what can happen when the creative minds of two different generations meet and spark.

		Canadian folk legend Bruce Cockburn was introduced to popular music in 1956 with Elvis Presley, and knew that music was where his heart lay.
		In 1967 he had built up a small portfolio of self-penned songs that he felt sounded better when performed alone and decided to pursue a solo career, but it took a year to extricate himself from his band involvements; that was also the year he made his first appearance at the Mariposa Folk Festival.
		Although always released in Canada on True North, Cockburn's material went on to be released in the US and the rest of the world on labels such as Island, Millenium/RCA, Gold Mountain/A&M, Gold Mountain/ MCA, and Gold Castle.

		Well into his fourth decade of recording (his self-titled debut was released in 1970), Bruce Cockburn has not been able to break out of his cult status in the United States despite his enormous popularity in his native Canada (where he has earned numerous Juno Awards).
		Of the three new tunes, Cockburn performs solo guitar on the atmospheric "Elegy" with hints of Spanish influences, and "King Kong Goes to Tallahasse" is a lazy blues number that invokes John Fahey at his most melodic.
		Bruce is a acoustic guitar virtuoso as well as a composer expressing himself in many styles and rhythms: from blues to jazz to country and folk.

		Cockburn's collected work is a journey-both moody and revelatory-into the dark night and the sweet laughter of the soul, around the world with vivid imagery and unflinching observations of human cruelty, greed, courage, and survival through faith, and back home to the peaceful forests and vibrant cities of his native Canada.
		Cockburn eventually found his voice as a songwriter drawing upon instinctive spirituality, a keen eye for detail, and a wry sense of humor.

	Bruce Cockburn: You've Never Seen Everything - PopMatters Music Review
		It happens to be a fiery, Canadian wordsmith named Bruce Cockburn, who, with each passing record, defies everything we've come to believe about aging artists living fat on Triple A radio.
		Cockburn characteristically resists the jet set persona, stripping any romantic notions we might have about the breakfast-in-New-Orleans-dinner-in-Timbuktu life he has chosen: "Pierced by beauty's blade, skinned by wind / Begged for more -- was given -- begged again / I'm still here, I'm still here".
		Cockburn is no stranger to lamenting the tortured human condition, but as far back as the mid-'70s masterpiece In the Falling Dark, his ruminations tended to be more distant, metaphysical and in some cases aloof with cynicism.

		Cockburn's jousting days ended with his association with Columbia Records (he's now distributed in the U.S. by Rykodisc), but he retains fond memories of the impromptu skirmishes that occurred during the taping of his annual Christmas radio specials at a New York studio.
		For Cockburn, who began his solo career as a coffeehouse troubadour in 1970 with the release of his self-titled album, "folk" is no longer a dirty word.
		Another anomaly about Bruce Cockburn's musical career is that after 30 years of prolific songwriting, his entire discography -- including such classic albums as In The Falling Dark, Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws, Humans, and Stealing Fire -- is still available to the public.

		Bruce Cockburn's music has been described as similar to Neil Young's, only jazzier.
		The first albums (at the time, available only in Bruce's native Canada) were straightforward folk albums.
		Waiting For a Miracle is a wonderful retrospective of Bruce's 30-year career up to that point, but be sure to get the two-disc Canadian version, not the emasculated single-disc version marketed in the U.S. My personal favorite albums are Stealing Fire and Nothing But a Burning Light.
