Reading a book on Bruce Cockburn’s music when I stumbled onto this quote:
“Actually, I like his ‘Jesusy’ songs the best. I’m not a ‘Jesusy’ kind of guy, but I love Bruce’s ‘Jesusy’ songs.” – Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies commenting on Cockburn’s work.
You know you’ve nailed it as an artist when you can write from a faith perspective and people can listen and still recognize the quality and authenticity of your work, even though they may not share the same perspective.
