Bruce Cockburn joins us on Episode 611 of Folk Roots Radio for a wonderful in-depth conversation about his new career spanning retrospective, “Greatest Hits 1970-2020”, a double CD set featuring 30 songs he has released as singles. After 34 albums, 13 Junos, thousands of shows across the world and numerous other awards, it’s been quite the career. The good news is that Bruce Cockburn is still going strong, still working on new songs, and still playing shows. In fact, this month he sets out on his 50th Anniversary tour. It’s actually Take 2 – because COVID put paid to the first version last year. There was a lot to talk about which is why we’ve given over the whole of this episode to the interview. So settle down and enjoy Bruce Cockburn… in Conversation on Folk Roots Radio.

Long, evolving and meditative track to be enjoyed in a relaxed setting.  I hope this song takes you away.  Here's to finding solace in the new year.

Dai Sorano — Wrinkles

Written and performed by Rosanne Baker Thornley 

Had an obligation I had to keep
A conversation I couldn't leave
A ton to do so I didn't sleep
A lotta people I wan'da please
 
Had a pile of clothes I had to wash
Had to raise the kid, ’n’ walk the dog
Grab the groceries an’ drop em off
Had so much to do that I forgot
 
CHORUS 
Sorry I’m late
But there's a thousand things I had to do today
And another 1000 things that I would love to chase
That have to wait
Sorry I'm late
 
Had a stack of bills I had to pay
Had 25 years I know that saved me
Had a moment there where I kinda wandered
Thought I had enough time
But it took longer
 
I got caught on another road
and the clock didn't stop and I got older there 
were years there where I lost a page 
had a lot of plans I couldn't change

Sorry I’m late
But there's a thousand things I had to do today
And another 1000 things that I would love to chase
That have to wait
Sorry I'm late
 
22 turns 29
31 turns 35
41 and 43 run 
quickly into 50 and
51 meets 53 and right beside is 55
And 56 it can't believe when it's
staring right at 60
 
Sorry I’m late
But there's a thousand things I had to do today
And another 1000 things that I would love to chase
That have to wait
Sorry I'm late
Sorry I’m late
Sorry I’m late
Sorry I’m late
Sorry …

Sorry I'm Late

2020.11.10 Thunderstorm Meditation: Night Forest. Late Spring.

I create. I write. 
I write songs for me. And I write songs with and for other artists. My team produces me and many of the artists I work with. I’ve received quite a few international songwriting awards which is cool and that adds a nice bit of visibility along the way. I love what I do, and I’ve been doing this a long time. Every day I work with awesome, talented people who inspire and motivate me to want more. Music is not an easy business, but its certainly made for an interesting journey to this point. And so it continues :) For more, please visit my site at rbtsong.com. And thank you for dropping by to listen. RBT

Sorry I'm Late
