5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb Acoustic Outing
By L. Cornell on June 29, 2000
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
For newer fans of BC, this has got to sound rather dated. For an old guy like me, this is a golden gem in my record collection, but if you are easily bored by acoustic based guitar works of instrumentals, folk, blues, and jazz, read no further.
"Foxglove" starts the set as a short Django Rheinhart style upbeat instrumental ditty, with articulate and skillful guitar picking. If you play guitar yourself, prepare to be impressed.
"You Don't Have to Play Horses" shifts moods quickly to the blues, and Bruce heavily using acoustic slide guitar and a jazzy backbeat. Bruce's vocals and lyrics are stark, cynical and biting here.
"Blues Got the World..." omits the last part of the line, which is "...by the balls." This is something you might expect on an Eels CD rather than from a Christian composer, but this all is done in a lighthearted, tonque in cheek way - it works. It reminds me of the Eels, how they treat the starkest subjects with an upbeat melody and beat. This is acoustic guitar and vocal only. Again, amazing and lightning fast guitar work, and the tune will etch permanently in your brain.
"Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse" is a jazzy bluesy piece employing acoustic piano and guitar with "nightclub jazz" style bass and drums. It sets the perfect tone for the gritty, blues vocals from Bruce. It's amazing to hear this.
The first 'side' (of the record) finishes off with "Islands in a Black Sky," which is a solo guitar instrumental composition that Bruce has never been able to match since this disc. The closest thing to it was "Water Into Wine" from "In the Falling Dark" and that pales in comparison. This track alone makes this worth the purchase.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsIntrospective masterpiece
By A Customer on December 7, 2000
Format: Audio CD
When I'm stressed out or feeling down, I love to listen to this album. It connects with my dark mood in the first few songs, then I slip into a reverie for "Islands In A Black Sky". Back to reality for "Clocks Don't Bring Tomorrow...", and then "When The Sun Goes Nova" imparts a "don't take yourself so seriously" kind of message.
After that I close my eyes and let "Deja Vu" and "Lightstorm" wash over me. Finally the hopeful and beautiful "God Bless The Children" leaves me feeling good again. Repeat if necessary. :-)

5.0 out of 5 starsDown Home Blues With A Canadian Flavor
By Brian E. Erland HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on February 24, 2006
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
'Night Vision' is Bruce Cockburn's fourth and now OOP album/CD. Without question Cockburn is the most eclectic, diverse musican I've ever listened to. Every album is a totally unexpected and highly enjoyable musical experience.

In 'Night Vision' Bruce's unexpected twist this time is a unique and clever excursion into the blues genre. This -10 track- collection is absolutely delightful. Perfectly capturing the blues experience with such tunes as: 'You Don't Have To Play The Horses', 'The Blues Got The World'... and 'When The Sun Goes Nova', you will find yourself returning to this CD over and over again. Especially on cold and rainy days.

Highly Recommended!!

4.0 out of 5 starsCockburn's darker visions
By William M. Feagin on October 24, 2012
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Night Vision is Bruce Cockburn's fourth album - released in 1973, it's mostly pretty good. It has Cockburn turning away from the brighter, more optimistic songs that filled his first three albums, and more towards the seriousness of his later works. "You Don't Have to Play the Horses" and the shorter piece "The Blues Got the World..." point this up effectively, along with one of his very best instrumental tracks, the minor-key "Islands in a Black Sky."

Some of the earlier sprightliness remains - the short opening instrumental "Foxglove" plays like a hornpipe, and is certain to set any listener's toes to tapping. Some of the material doesn't work quite as well - "When the Sun Goes Nova" sounds a little silly for a concept (the eventual death of the sun as a red giant) that's sort of dark and serious - but as long Cockburn continues to remind us that there is life to be lived ("Mama Just Wants to Barrelhouse All Night Long" is a good indication of that), a decent balance is kept with this album.

Overall, Night Vision is a good album; Cockburn was still finding his voice at this point, but for an artist who's had a career as long as his (43 years at this point, if one counts the fact that his 1970 eponymous debut album was recorded in the late fall of 1969), that's allowed. He hasn't made a bad album yet, even if they weren't all perfectly memorable. Night Vision is definitely one of the better ones nonetheless.
