Comments for Cockburn, Bruce, Big Circumstance

"If A Tree Falls", his song protesting the despoiling of theAmazon rainforests, was his best-known song from this album,but there`s much more to it than that. It took me a whileto get into, but this is vintage Cockburn, with hiscombination of political comment and emotional sincerity.

Personally, while being a fan of Bruce Cockburn's, I've always thought Big Circumstance is a piece of shit. It seems every song is an epic, and some of the playing and production is horrible. He did manage to make better albums past this point.
