Cockburn says of deciding to write his memoir: "Over the years, the notion that there should be a book about me has popped up now and then, along with offers to write it. It always seemed too soon, and I've felt all along that such a book should be mine to author. When HarperOne expressed their interest, it finally did seem timely, so here we go!"
In Rumours of Glory Cockburn invites us into his private world, providing an intimate commentary on his life and work, focused on the roots of his songwriting and the stories behind his best-known songs (referencing over 104 songs and lyrics throughout). From Ottawa in 1945 (where he was born) through to Baghdad in 2004, Cockburn shares his family life, personal relationships, Christian convictions, and the social and political activism that has defined him and his music, and has both invigorated and incited his legions of fans world-wide. At the same time he offers a fascinating tour through five decades of North American history, politics and culture.
At the completion of writing Rumours of Glory, Cockburn says: "I felt that [Baghdad] was the right place to end [Rumours of Glory]. So many things have changed in my life since 2004. My life had headed in many different directions, and where it ends is unknown as yet."
As the first chapter in the fascinating life of this legendary musician (who continues to create memorable songs), Rumours of Glory is a must-read for anyone wanting to know the man, and the story of the music, behind this legend of our times.
Bruce will be in conversation with music critic, musician, and journalist, Paul Myers.
