Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions

I just got the new album today and I'm not very enthusiastic. The first five cuts are what I'd describe as acid grunge, not to my liking. Track six is good but seems out of context with the rest of the album, but from at least here on it is more enjoyable. I like track nine the best. I listened twice through using tube electronics and once with solid state, much better with tubes. My current preference for seven albums I have are #1 "Lay It Down", #2 "Black Eyed Man", #3 " The Trinity Session", #4 "Whites off the Earth Now", #5 "MIles from our Home", #6 "Cresent Moon", #7 the latest "Open". Margo has such a great voice that I don't know why they don't display better.

.......in my above post, it should be "Studio, 1986-95". Puddles; I also ordered right away from the Junk Store-- maybe I'll "get lucky" and get a signed copy. I didn't know they were doing that.

Cornfed; re your comments above, their new CD sounds not so good (no pun intended), but hope springs eternal. No? I did like SOME of their more far-out stuff on "Waltz Across America, but not all of it. I'll keep my powder dry for now. Cheers. Craig

Newintown: I orderd the majority of my CJ CD's from Maple Music. The prices are in Canadian dollars, so the US equivalent is under $10 per CD.

Yep, I see what you mean Cornfedboy, I received my CD in the mail today and agree with your thoughts.
