On a very special 10th episode, Foy gets to speak with one of his idols: Bruce Cockburn. Bruce's first album came out fifty years ago, and here he is on episode 10 of The Vinyl Supper with Foy Vance. His eponymous album was released on April 7th 1970, including classic hits "Going to the Country" and "Musical Friends." In the past fifty years, he's released 34 albums and played around the wold.
Foy and Bruce bond over songwriting and what 'the new normal' has meant for them. Bruce calls back to an All-American favorite food, chicken and waffles, and rewinds over memories with All-American favorite musicians, Elvis, and Little Richard. The two get serious with talks of the recent unrest in the states, and Bruce has some words of wisdom: "looter are not the creators of chaos." They discuss the difference between condoning, condemning, and understanding.
In his own words, Bruce says of the last fifty years of recording: "I can only shake my head and mutter a word of thanks for all of it. Even if I'd been a planner by nature, I doubt I could have predicted how things have gone. And they're still going!" Going they are indeed: Bruce's songs have been covered by Jimmy Buffet, kd Lang, Barenaked Ladies, Jerry Garcia, Judy Collins, Chet Atkins, and many more.
