Ickmusic Live: Bruce Cockburn, 1993
“Wow”, I say.
As a lover, yes lover, of Bruce Cockburn‘s music, coming across this crystal clear show from 1993 – the year I discovered his music – is a godsend. My very favorite Cockburn tune, “All the Ways I Want You”? Check. Second favorite, “One Day I Walk”? Check. Pissed off activist Bruce? Check (“Stolen Land”, “Maybe the Poet”, “Rocket Launcher”). Great sense of humor in the between-song banter? Double check.
Just a great show. If you’re a Cockburn fan and you haven’t heard this, prepare for your head to spin. If you’re not familiar with Bruce’s music, spend some time with this show, and it’s likely you’ll end up a fan.

A nudge in the right direction
Just wanted to pass along a couple of nice sites I recently happened upon…
First, A Deeper Shade of Soul. Ben and I are on the same wavelength on a lot of stuff, it seems. I mean, killer live Boss from ’75, live Arcade Fire in Portland, a Bootleg Friday debut with classic Otis Redding, and the kicker – an Amy Winehouse post tonight, the night I was sitting down to do my own Winehouse post. And he used the same image I was planning on using – the cover of the latest Rolling Stone. Ben said it a lot better than I could. Go check out his open letter to Ms. Winehouse.
And finally, Radio Free Wohlman. Mr. Wohlman is a Bay Area radio guy who regularly posts quite tasty podcast “transmissions”. His most recent includes Badfinger, the Beastie Boys, the Klaxons, and m.f.’in Grace Jones (among others).
