COAT-TAILS FLYING Fledg’ling Records England’s squeezebox maestro John Kirkpatrick’s latest album is a masterful recapitulation of all that’s best about English folk music.

BRUCE COCKBURN
BONE ON BONE True North The 12-time Juno winner and Canadian Music Hall Of Fame Bruce Cockburn’s 33rd album arrives with eleven new songs and there’s a prevalent urgency and anxious tone to much of the album, which Cockburn attributes to living in America during the Trump era. But, more than anything, Bone On Bone amounts to the deepest expression of Cockburn’s spiritual concerns to date.
