I'm American and it is literally insane how unknown he is in this country. Bruce Cockburn has won 13 Juno Awards, Canada's equivalent to the Grammy. He is a brilliant guitar player, gifted song writer, with an important message in his lyrics. I'm blessed to own everything he has written. God Bless you Bruce. You are truly a gift from God. 🥰👍

People cannot grasp how incredibly deep this performance is 🎉

This is Bruce at his finest. Grateful for this significant performance. 🙏

He's so damn good.

Canadian treasure

There's only one Bruce, and it's Cockburn. He's one of the few that have all three things going, great songwriter, vocalist and guitar player. Bruce is a Canadian gem that never really made it big in the states. Bruce drops the E to D and keeps a steady bass going with his thumb while he solos. Very difficult. Check out " Charity of Night"

AMAZING singer, songwriter and GUITARIST... highly underrated and one of the VERY BEST!

Absolutley incredible guitarist.

I saw Bruce about a year ago in Canada...he was alone!! I swear I heard an orchestra at times.  his music is transforming..still beautiful

You're going to get sick of this same line. I saw Bruce live in Ottawa. It was about 7 years ago. I went to the box office to get a ticket to see him and discovered Jackson Browne was playing the same weekend. What was I to do? In the end, I picked up tickets to both shows and saw Bruce on Friday night and Jackson Browne on Saturday night and, not only was Bruce fantastic with just his guitar plus a woman on violin, Jackson Browne had quite the commentary about him.

Jackson Browne said that he used to try and figure out how Bruce gets some of the amazing sounds he gets and he saw him play with a backup track and thought, "So that's how he does it", but then later on, he saw him play the same thing with no backup track and knew he was back at square one. So Bruce does have  respect and admiration from a lot of his contemporaries.

Canada is lucky to have him. I have loved him way longer than 1979. It's hard to pick a favee song from Bruce. Every song and album is an odyssey.  Thanks for featuring him. I hope you feature him again. There is no way to cover all the fascinating aspects of an artist like that with one video.

Bruce is a treasure.  His passion, skill and intellect all impress.  So genuine.

In 2004, I was handing out leaflets outside a Bruce Cockburn concert.  Come showtime a member of his crew came out and handed me a front row center ticket. Thrilled.

One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard.  Always brings a strong reaction and tear to my eye.  God bless you Bruce.

Wow!  So glad you chose to do a piece on Bruce Cockburn.  Your commentary was excellent and insightful.  There is so much to Bruce; yes he is an amazing singer, songwriter, guitarist; but also he has done so much more to make this world a better place.

Bruce is a monster player.

Genius Bruce

You're in the same league as Mr. Beato, that's a fact. As a guitar player myself, I've always wondered what makes 90% of people deaf to Cockburn's guitar wizardry, which is astounding from whatever vantage point you care to watch.

Bruce is my favorite artist of all time. I’ve seen him live so many times I’ve lost track. I’ve met him and have a LP cover he’s autographed a couple times. He’s an unbelievable lyricist, a humanitarian and a guitar player’s guitar player. 🙏🏼🎶
