Bruce Cockburn

Bruce Cockburn, (pronounced "CO-burn"), has had a long and distinguished career with much success in his native Canada. His first albums were fairly straight ahead folk music spotlighting his brilliant guitar playing. In fact, there were a good number of instrumental guitar numbers on those early recordings. A Christian element came into his music around the time of the album Salt, Sun And Time, and over time his writing has taken on a stronger and stronger political orientation.

Bing Selfish

BING SELFISH "Pop music for the cynical present -- bright, breezy, sardonic, witty, a work of dazzling luminosity that confirms Phil Ochs's contention that 'In such an ugly time, the true protest is beauty.'" "Essential for anyone who thinks that rock, politics and humour can't occupy the same mental and aesthetic space" - The Wire (UK) Included in The Wire magazine's list of "60 singers and songs that broke the mould" (May 2004) for his personal anthem 'The Ideal' ; Bing Selfish is the dapper crooning Dean Martin of the disaffected and disenfranchised.
