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, Performed by Rosanne Baker Thornley (RBT)

I can’t believe it 
That I’m the one that feels this
I told myself I should let go
a hundred times or more and so I’m sorry
but I can’t let you go 

Wish I didn’t need this 
And everything beneath it
sometimes it gets so hard  
It’s pulling me apart and I can’t stand it
But I can’t let you go 

CHORUS 
How do you leave behind what you want 
How do you dial it down and turn it off
How do you say goodbye and move along
How is anyone, that strong 

Maybe if I try it
Hurts less inside if
I stop needing to explain
the feelings I can’t change and I don’t like it
but I can’t let you go 

How do you leave behind what you want 
How do you dial it down and turn it off
How do you say goodbye and move along
How is anyone, that strong 

If the truth can set you free
then I confess that this is killing me
All the pieces from the past 
And all the days I can’t get back
Every day that I can’t have
How, do I, get over that

How do you leave behind what you want 
How do you dial it down and turn it off
How do you say goodbye and move along
How is anyone, that strong

Is anyone that strong
Is anyone that strong
Is anyone that strong
Is anyone that strong
Tell me how
Is anyone that strong

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
