Gnossis & Innocence.......2006-03-31

I have been a Bruce Cockburn fan since 1971. This is still my favorite album. His heartfelt singing, perception, and songwriting on this album hearken back to an age of joyful innocence and wisdom tempered by an awareness of the eternal, and potentially harmonious, dance between, spirit and matter, nature and humanity, and the pure wonder of just being alive on this beautiful planet.

Young Artist Unleashed.......2005-08-02

Bruce Cockburn is in transition on Sunwheel Dance. Good things are happening. The early folk material still predominates. My Lady and My Lord is a fun, little ditty. The Deluxe version just released offers a second version with just his guitar, which is delightful and better than the original. Many mellow tunes here, he includes more and better instrumentation than his previous two recordings. The instrumental Sunwheel Dance shows a happy vertuosity by the young man. What an up song: For The Birds. Most of the songs are up. Fall is bluesy. Dialog with the Devil became, I understand, a concert favorite. My favorite is the anti war song: It's Going Down Slow. This one is worth the price of admission.
You can see Cockburn's spirit growing on this one.

Best Early Cockburn!.......2007-06-05

I discovered Bruce Cockburns work when I heard Tom Rush's
version of "One Day I Walk". I never heard of BC before and
had to find his original works - hard to do in USA at the time.

A few years later, I stumbled upon "Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws"
when it first came out and was blown away and found his earlier
tapes when possible.

This, for me, is the highlight of BC's early career. A very
touching and mellow album with some of his best tunes on it.

I put it up the with DITDJ and HUMANS. It's THAT good!

His Third Album.......2004-12-16

(34.4 minutes)

This album was kind of hard for me to locate when it first come out because we only had two record shops in Chesterfield County back in 1971 and neither of them carried anything by Bruce Cockburn. I had discovered Cockburn the year before on the Country Voice of the Tri-Counties, "Super AM Radio 1320, The Hayseed," and was in love with his music... but down here in Chesterfield County there weren't much room for Canadian folkies among the records that most folks were interested in obtaining, so I had a hard time obtaining it. As I recollect, I managed to get a copy when me and Mama were up in Canada to see relations (hers, not mine!) and couldn't wait to take the bus back down to Chesterfield County to put the record on the hi fi and listen to it. That's because her relations didn't own a hi fi at the time and don't hold to record listening no how.

Radio Luxemburg or Radio Caroline or one of them pirate radio stations picked this up and broadcast it across the UK that summer, but you couldn't hear anything in Chesterfield County unless you came over to the Huckabee place and listened as we played it on our hi fi set. In fact, quite a few folk did and that is why, to this day, there is a small but dedicated group of Bruce fans right here in the tri-county area. I ain't attempting to crow, I just state the facts as I see them.

I suppose the best cut on the disc is Feet Fall on the Road, and I judge it to be the best because as far as I can see, that tune is the one from this album what has been recorded most by other singers. This album is a whole lot more accessible than the first two, mainly because Bruce had by that point drifted more towards main stream music and wasn't quite as esoteric. Esoterica is what makes Bruce shine, though, and once you get a good handle on his modern stuff, going back and discovering this old stuff ain't at all a chore.

In my opinion, and my opinion is always just as humble as I can make it (even when it is the correct opinion and everybody else has the wrong opinion) , if you are ready to delve in to the early work of Bruce Cockburn, then go ahead on and splurge and get yourself all three of his first albums (Bruce Cockburn, High Winds White Sky, Sunwheel Dance) and listen to them as a unit. I provide my erudite and knowledgeable (yet always humble) opinion about other possible trilogies of his work in other reviews. Buying all three of the first CDs makes a great gift and I done gave my good friend Clyde "Blackie" Boyle the trilogy back at Christmas a year or two ago. He didn't care for it too much, buy his oldest boy, Lance, sure enough did like it and now me and Lance head up the local chapter of the Bruce Cockburn fan club (dues $28.50 per year, meetings quarterly at the Sons of Herman Lodge or any time a new release comes out).

A rich artistic performance, full of nuance........2003-10-15

It's the year 2003 and I'm replacing old cassettes with CDs. This is the first one that came to mind because it's exquisite and has stuck with me since 1st finding it about 10 years ago during a difficult period. The notes and melodies are crafted with a contrast that reminds me of looking at wind-blown wet trees gone wild in shape. It transports and pleases other senses too like touching a beautiful coat on a kitten or lion. Bruce's words are delicate nuances of style; gradations of feeling from infatuation to deep affection to celebration; subtle shades of meaning everyone can relate to.

Top three Favorites By Cockburn.......2000-04-22

This is one of my favorite ablums by Cockburn. "Feet fall on the road" and "Fall" are very soothing songs. He does a little of everything on this one with the old english finger stylings on "My lady and my lord" and "Sunwheel Dance" as well as bluesy songs and full spirited songs. I highly recomend it.
