Amoeba Review

Bruce Cockburn returns with an intriguing collection of all new tracks on his 34th studio album, Crowing Ignites. This time, they’re all instrumental, weaving a rich tapestry of sound as Cockburn delves into folk, jazz, blues, and Celtic influences. As producer/frequent collaborator Colin Linden says, “It’s amazing how much Bruce can say without saying anything.” On Crowing Ignites, Cockburn connects to the heart of his listeners in new, surprising, and gratifying ways. This is the sort of album that makes it quite clear why Bruce Cockburn is a legend.
