The music of Bruce Cockburn has sustained the interest of fans for over fifty years. His first album set the stage for a strong catalog of classic albums, rich in songs of thought and intent. Not counting live albums, Bruce Cockburn currently have 26 studio albums in his catalog. And with that many albums in the library, it stands to reason that there are many songs that resonate – and continue to resonate – with his fans in both the US, Canada (where he is from), and indeed the entire world. A collection of classic Bruce Cockburn tracks that encapsulate his long career output is a thing of requirement.
On December 3, True North Records will release a definitive 2CD, 30-song ‘best of’ called Greatest Hits 1970-2020. It will be a welcome blast of over two hours of satisfying Bruce Cockburn classics and deep cuts from all of his albums. All songs have been personally selected by Bruce Cockburn for this anticipated set. Greatest Hits 1970-2020 will be issued on CD and DD (HD FLAC, MP3). No word on vinyl as of yet. You can pre-order here.
Bruce Cockburn resumes his aborted pre-Covid tour in “2nd Attempt” commencing on December 7 and continuing through April 23 finishing in Canada.
