Review
<p>A compilation album, somewhat similar to the Mummy Dust compilation of Cockburn songs issued the same year by True North. Resume is a decent introduction to his late-'70s work, and also features the previously unreleased "Coldest Night of the Year" (included also on Mummy Dust). The song selection shows many of the sides of Cockburn the artist: the spiritual seeker ("Can I Go With You," "Lord of the Starfields"), the guitar virtuouso ("Water Into Wine"), the rock musician ("Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand"), and the intimate live performer ("Dialogue With the Devil").</p><p>—<strong>Rob Caldwell</strong></p>
