which cowboy junkies cd?

I agree with Pops. If you get hooked on Cowboy Junkies music, you want to have them all. Mile From Home just mesmerized me for a long time, Lay it Down is my second fav. There is a release called "Studio" (I think) that is no longer listed in the Junkies Discography. Has a song towards the end called "Driving Wheel" (if my memory serves me right) that is very hypnotic.

Now I have to go home tonight and refresh my memory with a listen.

Nice to see other Junkies fans out there. They used to come through Cincinnati every Valentines Day and play small theaters and clubs. It was a tradition to have flowers sent to the theater for Margo since they were on the road. Often the girl from "Over the Rhine" a Cinti. band (can't think of her name off hand) was touring with the Junkies and singing backup for Margo. Really nice harmonies. And yeh, they are pretty laid back on stage and in person. Don't know if they did this everywhere, but Margo and a couple of the guys in the band would always stay after the show to talk, sign CD's, and hang out.

I saw the Junkies live in DC at Wolftrap the "National Park for the Performance Arts" a few years ago. It's true, they're not a dynamic live show, but I would still recommend seeing their show to anyone who is a fan. They have a DVD out that's quite good which includes a freebee live cd. It's worth having too.

The platinum & gold CD is a 12 song compulation (best of) that is as good of starting point as any.
"Early 21st Century Blues" I enjoy as well.

All good suggestions. An especially fine recording, drawing material from a number of their albums, is
'The Radio One Sessions', produced by BBC Music, available through the Junkies website.

The majority favor the Trinity Sessions and that is also the first CD from them I purchased. It is an excellent starting point. Over time, I have found Caution Horses to be my favorite which I didn't really care for the first few times I played it. I would follow that by Black Eyed Man, Lay it Down, Whites off the Earth Now, Pale Sun Crescent Moon, and One Soul Now. Lay it Down has a big fat bass that sounds really good through my Cary SLI50. Most of their CD's are bumped up in the bass.
