The Trouble with Normal

Album Personnel:

• Bruce Cockburn - Dulcimer, Guitar, Vocal
• Gary Gray - Engineer
• Gene Martynec - Producer

Tracks:

1. The Trouble With Normal (3:35)
2. Candy Man's Gone (4:00)
3. Hoop Dancer (7:48)
4. Waiting for the Moon (4:22)
5. Tropic Moon (4:38)
6. Going Up Against Chaos (5:31)
7. Put Our Hearts Together (4:25)
8. Civilization and its Discontents (4:16)
9. Planet of the Clowns (3:47)

Another consistently strong effort. Cockburn's brainy lyrics occasionally border on the didactic, but the imagery is usually brilliant. "Waiting for the Moon" is one of his most beautiful songs. The title cut is released in two totally different versions; the True North rendition is preferable.
