Nice review! It's not out of print. There's also a reissue that came out in the past year or so with 2 bonus tracks. You can listen to most of the songs here: http://brucecockburn.com/highwinds.html True North Records is doing a nice job reissuing all of his albums..remastered, original artwork and previously unreleased bonus tracks. Wish Joni would do something like that. Jenny PassScribe@aol.com wrote: I thought you folks might be interested in a review I just wrote for my Writers' Journal: Ken Finds A Classic From 1971 Bruce Cockburn - High Winds White Sky During the course of 2005, I was constantly hearing music from various artists that I liked and wanted to check out further. Sometimes, I visit the East Meadow Public Library and borrow CDbs from their vast inventory that I may like enough to buy or make copies of. A recent album by Bruce Cockburn (pronounced Co-burn) had some good tunes on it but I wasnbt impressed enough to add it to my collection without hearing more; I checked with the library and found they didnbt have it. While I was browsing through the many titles at the library, however, I came across an early album by Cockburn entitled, High Winds White Sky, so I brought that home to listen to. Ironically, I loved this collection of sensitive and finely crafted tunes that are somewhat simpler than his newer material, and I was glad I found it. There are ten original songs in all and I think every one is a keeper. The vocals and acoustic guitar on the first tune, bHappy Good Morning Bluesb, reminded me of Paul McCartneybs upbeat style from his Red Rose Speedway days. bLet Us Go Laughingb is a slower, more deliberate ballad, and therebs a great, lilting piano riff throughout bGolden Serpent Bluesb butbironicallyb no one is credited in the liner notes as playing piano on this album. Fine acoustic guitar work, neat chord changes and thoughtfully poetic lyrics in the title cut, bHigh Winds White Skyb, bLifebs Mistressb, and bShining Mountainb , remind me of early Joni Mitchell on her JM/Song To A Seagull, Clouds, or Ladies Of The Canyon albums. Ibd guess itbs long out-of-print but, if you can find it, Ibd highly recommend this collection to anyone seeking intelligent, easy-listening music from a singer-songwriter with something to say.

However dating in school seemed the norm in surpressing my inner desires. I married a girl whom I told at age 16 that I thought I was gay. Living in fear in a redneck school I was quite popular among the jocks because I was the chief photographer for the school and that meant their picture ended up in the news paper. Had they known I'd be dead for sure. My marriage lasted 4 years living with a continual ache of longing to be with a man. My lover before David was a crane operator on a construction job where I worked in Houston. He was a great combination of redneck Texan, Archie Bunker/Michael Angelo mentality. He would say you love me don't you, to which I would say yes and his reply was I don't love you that way I can't, A very Ennis approach. Three of my closest friends were violently murdered by straight men acting to be gay. Only one of the murdered friends killer ever was prosecuted due to a police department who chose to look the other way. So I know the pain and agony felt by both Jack and Ennis. It is a fear most straight people never have to deal with. Brokeback Mountain was by far a more compelling movie to me then any movie about a selfserving,self indulgent little prick like Truman Capoyte. A move that wins an Oscar should have an impact that leaves you rehashing scenes over and over when you leave the theater. One that gets your gut weeks after seeing it. I know these characters and still see this all of the time living in this hate filled Christian community where I live. Driven home by preachers and lawmakers pushing this bigoted agenda. By far Brokeback hits home for me and is by far the best pick. You know hanging out with Joni and her friends in Saskatoon I learned from her that she chooses to hang mostly with gay men because of their sensitivity and their quest to always have fun. I guess they share some similar "Shame& Blame" she always felt. That's my rant for the day.

Instead of me slipping in a Joni reference or two, she used the words of 'Twisted' as the opening reading. Good chat all round about madness, normality, eccentricity, artists, genius, etc. I did complain that she should have chosen something written by Joni but it was still an interesting discussion. Oh..btw, jsut to clear things up, I am Sparticus....I mean...I am Golden Reggie. Just thought I should clear it up once and for all. Any reference to Reg Dwight..aka Elton thingy (Mrs David Furniture) is just madness. ...and another thing....oops ,my analyst told me...
