Notes
“Images and references to rivers, birds, mountains, and especially sunlight abound on High Winds White Sky (1971), as they do on Cockburn’s debut and its follow-up Sunwheel Dance. Together the three albums form an acoustic trilogy that established Bruce Cockburn as one of Canada’s most important writers of introspective, literate songs. High Winds White Sky remains a landmark recording—fresh and adventurous as the day it was released.”
