Cowboy Junkie Fans

Blkadr- that's the very reason I gave other (better imho)examples of "laid back" music.
I don't think it's the musical form/genre that is being debated rather how good CJ'S are at it-very good in some peoples opinions......in mine they are rather unremarkable with many better examples.

Hey Uh Scott,
If ya'll have anymore of them there Trinity Session LP's to give away, keep me in mind!

Speaking of Portishead, if you like the CJ Trinity session, you will probably like Portishead Live at the Roseland NYC album. Great album - similar in that it was a live album where everything just worked.

should definitely hear their version of 'Highway Kind' on 'Poet, a tribute to Townes Van Zandt.' With a few exceptions, like 'Pancho and Lefty,' his songs aren't usually as interesting when done by singers other than him. 'Highway Kind' is one of the exceptions. It's a spectacular arrangement, about as far from his original spare style as you can get, but Margo Timmins voice and the guitar work are wonderful.

The rest of the recording is uneven, a few great versions of his songs and a few absolute duds. It's a must for Townes Van Zandt fans, though.
