Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Revisited...In deed


Has it really been twenty years since the release of the landmark album “The Trinity Sessions” by the Cowboy Junkies? Apparently so because “Trinity Revisited” is the 20th anniversary of that event.

WOW is what I have to say!!! This is an incredible recording. Margo’s voice is as pure and sweet as ever, but more refined, more powerful and more mature. The musicianship is second to none. This recording features some amazing guests as well. Ryan Adams, Vic Chestnutt, Jeff Bird and Natalie Merchant.

This set includes a CD and a DVD of the performance. I’ve been so taken with the CD that I haven’t even watched the DVD yet.

If you’re not a Cowboy Junkies fan or didn’t like the original “Trinity Sessions”, then you’ll probably not like this either, but do yourself a favor and at least listen to it. The recording space, The Church of the Holy Trinity has a very unique and special sound. The ambiance is incredible and on my system throws one of the deepest and WIDEST soundstages that I have ever heard. Kinda magical in my opinion.

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it…

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know there was a new release. I'll have to pick it up. Margo's voice is absolutely mesmerizing. Lay It Down and The Caution Horses are two of my faves, but if you haven't heard Early 21st Century Blues, give it a twirl. Lots of emotion and soul.
I meant to add that it would be a major injustice if someone doesn't release this on vinyl...45 RPM VINYL! How about it Classic or Mobile Fidelity?
according to Amazon it looks like the Junkies tried to re-create the original magic with some guest musicians and some extra mics. I wonder what the result will be? Will the intimacy be loss with the "bigger budget" recording?

Has anyone had a chance to compare the original to the new recording?
I watched the DVD last night. All I can say is Margo is now on my list of hot women (mostly redheads) with great bands! Unless you are a true Junkies fan, you can't fully appreciate the CD without seeing the performance on the DVD first. Mesmerizing................................................My list: Bonnie Raitt, Loreena McKennitt, Cindy Lauper, Alison Krauss, Chrissy Hynde, Tori Amos, Norah Jones, Emmy Lou Harris. All have excellent concert DVD's that go well with a nice Italian red wine.
The amazing thing with this cd is shows just how much Margo timmins voice has improved over the years - there are spot on this CDs that are truely amazing - Really recommend it
