Bruce Cockburn has completed work on his new recording, his first studio album since 2006's "Life Short Call Now". The album's title is "Small Source of Comfort" and the record is scheduled for a March 8, 2011 release, world-wide on the True North label.
At the present moment the album contains 9 vocal numbers and 5 instrumentals. The CD features performances from violin player extraordinaire Jenny Scheinman (Bill Frisell, Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux), recording artist Annabelle Chvostek and long time collaborators Gary Craig, Jon Dymond and producer Colin Linden.
The main recording sessions were done in the Tragically Hip's Bath House studio in Bath Ontario, with additional recording at Pinhead Studios in Nashville Tennessee, and the album was mixed at Fantasy Studio in Berkeley California.
Following the release of the record Bruce will embark on a tour with dates beginning in Canada towards the end of March and into the US in May and then will continue on to the end of the year including a possible return to UK, Europe and points further afield.
