Cowboy Junkies: The Trinity Session: for $7.81
The production is excellent- it sounds like the band is in the room with you, from every whispery note from Margo- to every hushed drum beat. Admiteddly, this is something one comes to expect from the CJ's- even when I don't care for their albums (Lay it down), they still always 'sound' great. On this one it sounds especially great: Everyone clicks on this. Everyone knows their place and does a fine job. This Cd is the perfect mix of country, blues and poetry. From Margo's evocative and ever-soulful voice to Michael's lucid and luminous guitar-work. The steady bass (it must be said that Alan Anton is one hell of an anchor)and drum work, always holding down the fort... Oh, the guest musicians hand in nothing short of exquisite performances. The harmonica is so sweet.

Oooh. Thanks. Kinda stumbled across them a few years back and really liked their sound, but I'd get distracted & forget to DL their CDs.
The best of the albums by a (once) excellent band. Unfortunately, I finally had the opportunity to see them live a few years back and they had completely lost their earlier spark. Now they kind of perform like an easy listening act.
