Most American music fans of a certain age remember Bruce Cockburn for his gentle folk\/pop hit of several decades ago, \u201cWondering Where The Lions Are.\u201d In his native Canada, he is celebrated for his 34 album releases, 13 Juno Awards (the Canadian Grammys), two Hall of Fame inductions, and as an Officer of The Order of Canada. He has now released a definitive career-spanning, 30-track collection titled Greatest Hits (1970-2020).<\/i><\/p>\n
The 30 tracks are presented in chronological order, so they present not only a nice look at Cockburn\u2019s career, but also of the development of his musical vision. <\/p>\n
Cockburn\u2019s music has always had a laid back and gentle feel. His lyrics, however, have constantly evolved as they have adjusted to the times around them. \u00a0Always cerebral, his lyrics have told stories as he has presented his views of love, the environment, political issues, indigenous people, and every now and then just simple folk music that makes you smile and wonder. <\/p>\n
\u201cGoing To The Country\u201d is nearly 50 years old, and it along with \u201cAll The Diamonds In The World,\u201d \u201cMama Just Wants To Barrelhouse All Night Long,\u201d and \u201cWondering Where The Lions Are\u201d represent his early career, where as a young man, music was simple.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I Had A Rocket Launcher,\u201d \u201cCall It Democracy,\u201d \u201cPeople See Through You,\u201d and \u201cIf A Tree Falls\u201d present his developing social consciousness. <\/p>\n
Life passes quickly and \u201cDifferent When It Comes To You,\u201d \u201cCall Me Rose,\u201d and \u201cStates I\u2019m In\u201d close the album as a mature human being and musician explores his world.<\/p>\n
Greatest Hits (1970-2020) <\/i>is a wonderful and heartfelt ride through the mind and music of a veteran artist. It is a journey worth hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":34483,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[10488],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-46325","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-bruce-cockburn","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=46325"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=46325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
