which cowboy junkies cd?

IMO the best Cowboy Junkies CD is "The Trinity Sessions" for both the music and the recording quality. The session was minimally miked in an old church with very little editing, I think. You can hear things get kicked by accident in the recording, people breathing, the ventilation system in the background, and a very low frequency noise that might be a train or underground subway rumble. The band seemed to have a synergy that I did not find in later recordings. After first hearing that CD, I rushed out to buy others, but never heard the magic I found in "The Trinity Sessions." But that's just my opinion.

All of em...

Don't overlook some of their EPs as well. I have one called "'Neath the Covers" that has interesting cover versions of such songs as Springsteen's "Thunder Road" and Youngs "Helpless."

Absolutely Larryi! "Neath the Covers" was a freebe with my purchase of "One Soul Now" and is one of my favorites.

I too saw the group in concert in Philadelphia Area as opener to John Prine. It was just as "Black Eyed Man" had taken off for them so its been some years back. They were quite boring in concert. Just sat there atop stools and droaned on. Quite uninteresting for 1 1/2 hours. But I absolutely enjoy all of their recordings. Interesting to hear that they have not improved upon their stage act.

(John Prine was terrific at that concert!)
