Bruce Cockburn's 1996 release The Charity of Night showcases the full scope of Cockburn's artistry as a writer, vocalist, guitarist and arranger. While powerful songs like 'Night Train' combine insistent rhythms with stark poetry and pointed social commentary, more intimate pieces like 'Pacing the Cage' reveal the interior architecture of the heart. With stellar support from bassist Rob Wasserman, percussionist Gary Craig and jazz legend Gary Burton on vibraphone, and harmony singers including Jonatha Brooke, Patty Larkin and Ani DiFranco, Cockburn and co-producer Colin Linden create a lush soundscape that immerses the listener in The Charity of Night.
