| Summary | "Bruce Cockburn has enthralled audiences with his insightful lyrics and innovative guitar playing for over half a century. Hit songs like 'Wondering Where the Lions Are,' 'If I Had a Rocket Launcher'; and 'Lovers in a Dangerous Time' are just part of the story. In You Get Bigger as You Go: Bruce Cockburn's Influence and Evolution, musician and writer M.D. Dunn takes the reader on a humorous and obsessive quest to track Cockburn's significant cultural footprint. Interviews with producers, musicians, activists, fans, as well as Bruce's career-long manager, the legendary Bernie Finkelstein, and with the enigmatic Mr. Cockburn himself form the core of this critical assessment and appreciation. In these conversations, Cockburn and friends celebrate a life of music and social engagement."-- |
