While other popular musicians won commercial
success outside of Canada, Cockburn resisted the lure of the
mainstream. Instead of going the conventional route, he chose
to follow his own path - a long and sometimes difficult road
of self-discovery and spiritual growth. And now, soon to release
his 26th album, the result is a critically acclaimed body
of work and a committed international audience.
In his personal life Cockburn has tended to be a loner. Married
and divorced at a young age, Cockburn has only recently rekindled
his relationship with Jenny, his 24 year-old daughter. He
has just moved to Montreal to be closer to her and to his
girlfriend, who lives in Vermont.
Candid interviews with Bruce's first band-mates, his long-time
manager Bernie Finkelstein and fellow musicians Jackson Browne
and Colin Linden are combined with a thoughtful narration
by Sarah Polley and rare archival material of his earliest
days on stage and at home. My Beat shows how this kid from
Ottawa has made an indelible mark on the face of music, here
in Canada and around the world.
Original Air Date - November 27, 2001
