Cowboy Junkies

As a Cowboy Junkies fan also, I think they peaked artistically in the region of Caution Horses and Black Eyed Man. It's been downhill ever since, not precipitously but steadily. The last time I saw them in concert a little over a year ago, I didn't enjoy it much. Sad but that's the way it seems to go; they run out of good ideas and then try to "expand their horizons" or whatever it is they do at that point. Still, their earlier work is exceptional. So I guess my recommendation is to just go in chronological order until you start getting disappointed, then stop. As an aside, get the album "Poet", a tribute to Townes Van Zandt that they do one song on. An excellent album in its own right.

Tireguy,you just aquired a little bit of credibility.

I'm with Karls. Earlier stuff very good IMO, but I'd even consider stopping at "Caution Horses" (# 3).

BTW, "Whites Off Earth Now" is their first, and it's musically good, IMO. Little more bluesy feel to it, I'd say.

Karl, that ideal makes a whole lot of sense. After Trinity Sessions, what's the chronological order of their stuff, particulary Caution Horses, Mile from...Lay it Down, The Radio One...., Black Eyed... Thanks in advance. Warren

I like em, I love em, all of them, haven't hear open.

The Trinity Sessions was recorded on a DAT.
If you listen very closely on Mining for Gold, you can hear the air handler in the background, birds, taffic etc. Interesting recording.

They are definately a love em or leave em band. My wife leaves em just fine.

To each their own,
