Good Listening: Christmas with Cockburn

Hey there music lovers!  It’s been awhile, but have no fear, the Stereo Dictator is back.  And I am once again prepared to pillage my archives in search of the greatest live recordings for the benefit of the ATV community.

Last year, we brought you the 12 Boots of Christmas, featuring big-time rock and rollers at various locations throughout the world.  This year, we are doing a series of radio broadcasts originating from upstate New York courtesy of the eclectic and prolific Bruce Cockburn.

Beginning in the early 1990’s, Cockburn performed an annual Christmas show that was broadcast on the Columbia Records Radio Hour.  In the midst of that run, he released his own outstanding collection entitled “Christmas” on the Columbia label.

Today’s show is a 48 minute gem recorded on December 15, 1991 at the Bearsville Theatre in Woodstock, New York.  It sounds beautiful and rocks from the outset with a great version of “Lovers in a Dangerous Time.”

**Extra Special Christmas Bonus Alert: The lovely and talented Sam Phillips appears on more than one track!

Cozy up to your stereo and get in the holiday spirit with Volume One of a Cockburn Christmas.
