Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand


Hey there 'Goners

H, my name is Andrew and I'm a Junkies-aholic. I need a little support from the group if you could be so kind. As a confirmed though never-to-recover Cowboy Junkies fan, I too often find the CJ's playing. My GF is gonna hijack my CD's and my iPod soon and do a little shuffling of her own. Without the thread going too far off course or getting too far from my professed comfort zone, any suggestions on expanding my musical horizons?

Thanks much!

You might like Ollabelle...A rootsy mixture of Blues,Gospel,Folk and Rock.Amy Helm,daughter of Levon Helm,has a nice voice,and the band is tight.
I just went into Pandora and created a "Cowboy Junkies" radio station and these are the similar artist that Pandora listed:

Mazzy Star
Gary Jules
Cat Power
Norah Jones
The Sundays

If you don't have a free Pandora account...go get one. Pandora is an excellent resource for finding new artists.
Second on the Pandora.

The Americana roots genre is deep with talent and shallow on notoriety. Pandora is a very effective and fun way to sniff some of these gems out.

Norah Jones and Gillian Welch come to mind. Great music!
