Bruce Cockburn - Small Source of Comfort
The man famous for singing about a rocket launcher has never shied away from trouble spots. In 2009, the music legend visited Afghanistan to see his doctor-brother, who serves with the Canadian Forces. The trip resulted in the gypsy-jazz instrumental “Comets of Kandahar” and “Each One Lost,” a moving, hymn-like tribute to fallen soldiers. Cockburn’s new album offers other delights, including the humorous “Called Me Back” and the intriguing “Call Me Rose,” which imagines Richard Nixon reincarnated as a single mom.
