This is a Hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Canadian singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn's thirty-plus-year career has found him musically traversing through simple acoustic pop, synth-y '80s rock, progressive worldbeat, and straightforward rock. Through it all he has maintained a brightly clever way with words and bracingly fresh view on the world that surrounds him, and all of this is brilliantly illustrated on Rounder Records' anthology Anything Anytime Anywhere (Singles 1979-2002). His clean, rhythmic "hit" "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" acts as a bridge between the darkly romantic "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" and the heavy political vibe of "Call it Democracy," all of which carry Cockburn's trademark droll delivery and sharp pen. As an added attraction, many "greatest hits" collections tack on a few new tracks, and often these subpar songs detract from the overall album. Fortunately, on this collection, the two new songs "My Beat" and particularly the title track "Anything Anytime Anywhere" rank among the best he's written, proving that he hasn't lost any of his biting edge. ~ Zac Johnson
Recorded between July 1979 and August 2001.

Anything Anytime Anywhere Music Anything Anytime Anywhere Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   Still in my CD player
I enjoy this CD. There are some songs which were quite popular a few years ago and I did not know they were by BC. I'm glad I bought it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
even the singles are a good introduction
amazingly diverse and filled with some remarkably intelligent lyrics.
music is sometimes primitive and unembellished, but so smooth for a simple recording

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  What is it with guys named Bruce?
If Bruce Cockburn never wrote another word in his life, "Call It Democracy", "Rocket Launcher" and "Nicaragua" would stand as a legacy reached by few folk rockers. Cockburn, a Canadian, seems to be one of the few writers with the courage to speak truth to power with the U.S. government, the IMF, and all the other bureaucratic entities and governments that strangle humanity just to show a profit. A true humanitarian and a man of admirable conscience and courage, the wonder is that the corporately controlled music business lets any of his work out. This album is a great overview, but get the others too.

Anything Anytime Anywhere music CDs
$6.75  
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals ...
| | Neil Young On The Beach CD (1974) Remastered
Anything Anytime Anywhere songs
$8.99 
After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain."
The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and ...
