Joy Will Find a Way is the sixth full-length album by Canadian singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn. The album was released in 1975 by True North Records and received a gold certification in Canada in 1985.
In a retrospective review, AllMusic critic Brett Hartenbach wrote, "Though it will appeal to the converted, Joy Will Find a Way, Bruce Cockburn's sixth album, won't do much to garner support outside of these circles. As always, Cockburn is never less than literate, and his guitar is consistently impressive throughout (check out the instrumental "Skylarking"), but there remains the tendency to become overwrought lyrically, as well as to get bogged down musically in the sort of folkish repetition that can be more tiresome than entrancing... Though he hadn't quite hit his stride at this point, this is the best of Bruce Cockburn's first half-dozen albums."
All songs written by Bruce Cockburn except where noted.
