BIO
The whole point of writing songs is to share experiences with people, says Bruce Cockburn, looking back on a career that includes 26 albums, numerous international awards, including the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Tenco Award for Lifetime Achievement in Italy, 20 gold and platinum records in Canada, and countless concert performances since he released his first solo work in 1970. Cockburn's collected work is a journey-both moody and revelatory-into the dark night and the sweet laughter of the soul, around the world with vivid imagery and unflinching observations of human cruelty, greed, courage, and survival through faith, and back home to the peaceful forests and vibrant cities of his native Canada.
Anything Anytime Anywhere also includes two newly recorded songs, the title track, a lost love song reinvented with help from the Fairfield Four, and one fresh composition, My Beat, featuring guest vocals by Patty Griffin. It's about riding my bike around Montreal, and being in the moment, which is still the internal, and eternal, thing, part of that ongoing exploration of what it means to be alive.
Listeners who've missed out on Cockburn's amazing journey so far could hardly ask for a better introduction. And of course, the wheel keeps on turning, as the journey continues. -- Banning Eyre
