Cowboy Junkie Fans

Scott,

I have to concur with something Garfish said:

"I find Margo Timmin's voice at once haunting and intimate on many of their (especially) ballads."

That's it for me, nothing more. It just hits some people right where they need it.

Thanks, guys, for the thoughtful and considered responses. I fully understand how some artists and certain performances can really "grab" you, while others don't. Given that music involves an emotional response, I guess that's to be expected. Thanks for taking the time to share your points of view -- maybe I should take the time to listen to some of the other recordings by the Junkies.

Best to everyone - Scott C.

Different strokes for different folks!

I like the Cowboy Junkies very much, very nice guitar and I like Margo as well, She reminds me of the Portishead singer (or vice versa). If you are a Cowboy Junkies fan and like guitar, try their first album Whites Off Earth Now, it may be their best and is a little raw sounding with great lyrics and vocals.
thanks for the tips too

Nobody ever mentions "Black Eyed Man", one of my favorite cds to listen to when I feel layed back and want to hear something not so demanding. Their music has an "authentic" feel and the lyrics are often very clever. I understand why someone might not be "grabbed" by them, this music is not the sort that is designed to impress.
