A Slice O' Life part 2

if you read my last post ...i talked about bruce cockburn's new live album....well here is a follow up since buying the album myself and actually hearing it with my own two ears.....one word...
"fan"tastic.....an awesome recording of bruce's better known songs with some lesser known gems....highlights include a superb rendition of "If a tree falls"with blistering guitar work....and a new song called "The city is hungry" ..which i hope is a preview of what's to come when a new studio album is recorded supposedly later in the year :).....the album was produced by Colin Linden who has worked with Bruce on earlier albums including...the excellent "You've never seen everything" and the classic " The charity of night"......the cd was recorded on a short US east coast tour in may 2008 with tracks coming from the various gigs...but how they've put together all the tracks to sound like one gig is pure genius. All and all a very satisfying collection of live cuts from an artist who just keeps getting better with age.
