I hereby make Bruce Cockburn the offical musician of the Itinerant Iconoclast site. He is a man who deals with real world issues and sings about them from a persepective of one who knows there is a God. He has never been a part of the "Christian" sub-culture, which allows him to sing about hard issues and air his struggles in an honest way. The above-referenced site includes comments by Cockburn about his songs, tour info, etc . . .
BTW, Cockburn's album "Christmas" is simply the best seasonal album out there, a combination of original, traditional, and obscure Christmas songs.

In used to listen to Cockburn a decade or so ago but have rather lost touch with his music of late.
Thank you for introducing me to Bruce's' music .I hadn't heard of him before. I spent some time listening to him sing and searching out info on him..
I am not a folk/acoustic music guy, but some of his stuff is really solid. FYI, his most "Christian" album is "Nothing but a Burning Light."
