Check out his mid-70s album, *Night Vision* -- "Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse" is a classic, cheeky blues! The next album, *In the Falling Dark*, began a more conscious immersion into jazz, with some wicked violin licks. *Stealing Fire* was a real departure for Bruce -- suddenly he seemed to move into solid rock territory ... but his earliest work is the most intricate, I think ... He's a Canadian gem :-) Thanks for the tribute, Shaun!Jaliyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868006713291780694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-58362409442180697902008-10-19T19:22:00.000-04:002008-10-19T19:22:00.000-04:00His Christmas album from the mid-90s is excellent....His Christmas album from the mid-90s is excellent.
