The Trinity Session
On their sophomore effort, Canada's Cowboy Junkies manage to make a one-day recording session in an old church one of their most satisfying listens. Featuring the sultry voice of Margo Timmins, the precise musicianship of her brothers Peter (on drums) and Michael (on guitar), and bassist Alan Anton, The Trinity Sessions is a spare, evocative, countrified-rock classic. Their inspired reworking of both "Blue Moon" and "Working On A Building" reveal the Timmins family to be talented interpreters and insightful neo-traditionalists. Mixing the ambitious songwriting of Margo and Michael Timmins with subdued covers of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" and Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," The Trinity Sessions is an exquisite collection that holds up quite well under repeated listenings. --Mitch Myers more

The vocals are totally drowned out by the instruments - especially on To Love is To Bury.

3 1/2Last chance for a slow dance. Soothing, and sad, these atmospheric tributes along with quite a few worthwhile covers were on par with the best slow-core could muster, the Junkies here especially sounding like some kind of...

- Margo on analog part 2; Finding the gallions 2,000 fathoms deep in Digital Jones' locker
Just let you know for now I got a perfect condition LP. Standard weight Vinyl but some kind of RCA high fidelity format that sounds like 180gram almost. Havn't found the words yet a still awestruck just looking at this sunken treasure...

If asked, I would have guessed the Cowboy Junkies to be another punk band from the 90's. So glad to be doing the CDNOW search thing and find this group. Unlike 1976 Its not easy for old guys like me to find good "new" music. God knows...

- A Disappointment
The one word I would use to define this album is "lugubrious". I had read a lot about it, so I bought it, listened to it, and I won't be listening to it a second time.The album is static. There are no changes in tempo. Every song is...
