Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws, Bruce Cockburn's ninth studio album, came out on True North in 1979 and gave the Canadian singer-songwriter his biggest showing in America. Cockburn had long been working a seam between folk and jazz-touched rock, with lyrics that wander toward the spiritual, and here the songs have a warm, easy glow, more wonder than sermon. "Wondering Where the Lions Are" is the open door, a sunny, lilting tune with something bigger stirring underneath.
It reached number 22 on the Canadian albums chart and 45 on the Billboard 200, the highest he has ever climbed in the States.
