Music reviews of Slice O Life: Bruce Cockburn Live Solo

Music Review: Mesmerizing
Rating: 5 Stars

The first time I saw Bruce Cockburn live was at the Town Hall in New York City in March of 1988. I was a big Cockburn fan but was definitely also still in my youth in the 1980's and enjoyed the big, glossy, heavy drum sound that influenced (now slightly marred?) my favorite records of the times like Born In The USA, Infidels, and even Stealing Fire. Bruce was appearing solo that night, just him and his guitar. This was a little disappointing to me, whose idea of a great concert was something big like U2 or the other Bruce. This disappointment melted away within the first 2 minutes of Bruce's first song, "Creation Dream". I had never seen someone in total command of an audience with just a guitar and voice as I did that night. The amazing sounds he could make on that acoustic guitar; you would swear it was more than one person. Bruce has a way of playing that is different from everyone else, where he almost creates a backbeat in addition to the incredibly intricate guitar work he is capable of. I've seen Bruce 9 more times since then and thereafter whenever I heard he was touring with a band I felt a little disappointed that he wasn't solo. Nothing has changed since then. Bruce has continued to dazzle audiences when he decides to tour solo. If you've never seen one of these shows or heard an unofficial recording then you are in for a particular treat with Slice O Life. This is Bruce's first live album where he performs solo. You already know from the studio albums what a great songwriter Bruce is; here you will find out just what he can do with just a guitar. I was a little disappointed that Bruce didn't include more songs from the 70's, but with a prolific 40 year career to choose from there is bound to be many songs here that you will like. Even in his 60's Bruce is still captivating.

Description of Slice O Life: Bruce Cockburn Live Solo

Specially-priced 2-CD set! Bruce Cockburn's first-ever live solo album, Slice O Life, showcases a cross-section of the acclaimed artist's finest songs and some of his most dazzling guitar work. Slice O Life features such hits as "If I Had a Rocket Launcher," the classic "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" and Cockburn's breakthrough hit "Wondering Where the Lions Are." Originally recorded with a full band, all of the album's songs have been rearranged and performed on acoustic guitar with stunning results. The album also includes one new song, "The City is Hungry," plus three tracks recorded at soundchecks on the tour and some between-song banter that shows Cockburn to be both a quick wit and an engaging storyteller.
