VARIOUS / JAMES TOTH PRESENTS - Imaginational Anthem Vol. XIII: Songs Of Bruce Cockburn - LP - Vinyl [APR 5]

LP - Black Vinyl.  

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, Luke Schneider and Jerry David DeCicca all step up and pay tribute to this musical hero, proving that Cockburn is not only influential, but also the keeper of a deep catalogue of songs ripe for discovery by a younger generation.

1. Foxglove - Eli Winter
2. 40 Years in the Wilderness - Jerry DeCicca (feat. Bill Callahan)
