True North Records will release Bruce Cockburn's 29th studio recording entitled Life Short Call Now. This beautiful album follows up 2005's Speechless - Cockburn's first-ever instrumental record. Life Short Call Now was recorded at Puck's Farm outside of Toronto.
It includes 12 Cockburn originals and features guest appearances from Ani Difranco, Ron Sexsmith, Hawksley Workman and Damhnait Doyle.
Life Short Call Now was produced by Jonathan Goldsmith. Several of these songs were written during and after Bruce Cockburn's 2004 fact-finding mission to Baghdad.
Some tracks feature Cockburn with a twenty-three piece orchestra which is a first.
"The whole point of writing songs is to share experiences with people," says Cockburn, looking back on a career that includes 29 albums, numerous international awards, including the 91原创 Music Hall of Fame and the Tenco Award for Lifetime Achievement in Italy, 20 gold and platinum records in Canada.
