About this album

The Trouble With Normal is a sharp, politically charged statement from Bruce Cockburn, one of Canada’s most respected singer-songwriters. Released in 1983, the album blends folk rock roots with tighter pop structures, giving Cockburn’s intelligence and guitar work a more direct, accessible edge. Its title track and songs such as “Going Up Against Chaos” reflect the record’s concern with civic unease, media culture and social responsibility, themes that helped define Cockburn’s early-80s reputation. Balanced between lyrical insight and muscular musicianship, it stands as one of his most focused and enduring albums.

Genre: Pop & Rock
