New Cowboy Junkies- Wow


I just picked up the new Cowboy Junkies disc, "Early 21st Century Blues" and it's fantastic! It's the first Junkies album I've picked up since "The Trinity Sessions" but the track list on this looked cool, lots of interesting covers, so I said what the heck. Boy am I glad I did! There's a Dylan tune, two Springsteen tunes, one George Harrison, and my favorite Richie Havens "Handouts In The Rain". They even do a U2 tune, "One"! It's available pretty much everywhere, check it out.

Big fan! Thanks Jond. I'll pick the new one up soon. Saw them in concert locally and would highly recommend the experience. I think they did an Austin City Limits concert for PBS as well that's worth looking for. I'm with Dave on having bought many of their other albums only to be compelled to listen to a handful of those songs, whereas Trinity Sessions never fails to hold me start to finish.

A couple of, perhaps lesser known, recommendations if you like the Cowboy Junkies, both highlighed with wonderful female vocals and intelligent lyrics:

Trespasser's William (small San Francisco based band with two albums - both are good, but I prefer "Anchor")

Over the Rhine - Highly underrated band...their album, "Ohio" is wonderful!

Jond,
Besides the wonderful songs, how is the recording? Give me a scale between 1 and 5 if you could. Thanks.
Thanks Jond. I will go buy it this weekend. I had your speakers before. If you add a sub to them, you would thank me later. I would try a Rel first.
My personal fav is "The Caution Horses" I did just recently rediscover "trinity Sessions" in my collection. Glad this was brought up for I might not have known and gone without. Paul
