which cowboy junkies cd?

The Trinity Sessions is classic - lots of emotion in there - but Lay it Down is my favorite. You can't go wrong with any of these: Trinity Sessions, Whites Off Earth Now, The Caution Horses, Black Eyed Man, Lay it Down, and Miles From Our Home. One Soul Now didn't grab my attention, but it's not bad. Margo Timmins' voice is incredibly seductive and powerful. The cadence in her voice carries a sense of intimacy that I haven't heard with many other vocalists. And she's damn beautiful too!

The three albums of theirs that stay in current rotation in my system are "Trinity Sessions", "Lay it Down", and their newest release "Early 21st Century Blues".. Good stuff..

As you've figured out by now, the Trinity Sessions is by and far their best album. Dekay, the odd noise your hearing is coming from an air conditioning vent. Someone else mentioned this was recorded in a church, but it was actually recorded in the lobby of an old Hotel with a really high ceiling, using a point source mic. At least that's what I remember reading. It's been many years, but I can look this up to confirm.

I wish they would do them all like this as the sound is just fantastic. BTW, don't know if you guys are aware, but another reason this one sounds so good is there were no overdubs. Frist generation from them to tape. Not many can pull this off.

One of the best audiophile albums of all times.

BTW, I just picked up Early 21st Centry Blues yesterday and on first listen was really disappointed. I listened to it again today and warmed up to it a litte, but I guess I've just listened to the Trinity Sessions too many times over the years and expected more of the same.

Jack dotson, on the Trinity Sessons you can hear a subway train below the room they are recording in and I do think it was in a church. This is what I remember reading in a TAS or Stereophile article...

I dunno Jack...I can't agree Trinity Sessions is their best. It's great but I prefer their post Trinity efforts. Personal taste..great thing about art and music.
