Further Adventures of is the eighth studio album by Canadian singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn. The album was released in 1978 by True North Records. The title of the album is not "Further Adventures of Bruce Cockburn" and the original album cover the title is simply "Further Adventures of".[1] The album cover displays a picture of a small globe of the Earth after the title, implying that the adventures referred to are those of the planet Earth, not of Cockburn.

In 1996, alternative rock group Primitive Radio Gods had a hit with the song "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand", but that song is different from the song with nearly the same name on this album.

AllMusic[2]

In a retrospective review, AllMusic critic Brett Hartenbach wrote, "though it may contain Bruce Cockburn's usual mix of beautifully intricate acoustic work and pastoral mysticism, along with the occasional touches of anger and irony, continues the growth that was so evident on his last studio outing In the Falling Dark... it serves as another steppingstone to what would be the most impressive period of his career..."[2]
