Bruce Cockburn-"Sunwheel Dance" (1972)

Unlike Joni Mitchell and Neil Young, two Canadians who crossed the border with the United States to become famous, Bruce Cockburn became a star by remaining in his homeland, benefited by a Canadian law that established that 39% of all music transmitted on the radio it must be Canadian music.
Thus, their songs that fascinated the public both for their lyrics and their music could be disseminated, in a clear step forward from the folk rock of the late sixties.
With a quite heterogeneous style where jazz, rock, touches of reggae and what was called new age music in the nineties, Cockburn defined a unique style.
After some good works that had begun to be published in 1970, the true physiognomy of the artist would arrive when his album "Sunwheel Dance" came to light, a work where he achieves the perfect balance between acoustic music and electric rock.
His later career has been quite prolific, publishing around thirty albums of which 22 have been gold or platinum records in Canada.
