Bruce cockburn in the falling dark


In the Falling Dark is the seventh studio album by Canadian singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn. The album was released in 1976 by True North Records. It is considered a watershed moment in Cockburn's recording career, as he leaves behind the minimal acoustic arrangements of his earlier albums for a fuller, more rock-oriented sound with extensive use of bass, drums and percussion. The album received a Canadian Gold Record Award, and was his first album to chart in the United States, reaching No. 191 in Cash Box.
