| The 9-song tribute album Imaginational Anthem vol. XIII - Songs of Bruce Cockburn is out April 5th via Tompkins Square. |
Here's the scoop from Tompkins Square...
Bruce Cockburn is one of the most celebrated Canadian artists of all time. Unlike fellow Canadians Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell or Neil Young, Cockburn has not been fully embraced by a younger generation of indie musicians and younger fans. Tompkins Square recruited well-respected indie artist James Toth, known for his work with Wooden Wand, to curate the 13th volume of its guitar series, Imaginational Anthem. Although there is a focus on Bruce as a guitarist, there are also vocal tracks on the album.
Indie stalwarts Bill Callahan, Matt Valentine, Matthew "Doc" Dunn, Luke Schneider, Jerry David DeCicca and more pay tribute to this musical hero, proving that Cockburn is not only influential, but also the keeper of a deep catalog of songs ripe for discovery by a younger generation. For those who aren't really concerned about whether composers and musicians are properly remunerated for their creations, you can check out a Spotify playlist put together by Tompkins Square called Bruce Cockburn for Snobs: A playlist for people who think they're too cool for Bruce Cockburn right here.
