which cowboy junkies cd?

Lay It Down

Awesome collection of songs and performances.

I can see now I missed the real question Nottop posted with my last response:

"If you love Cowboy Junkies you should also consider x"

I have a hard time thinking of anyone that is really like Cowboy Junkies. A few artists that evoke a similar mood for me are:
Mark Knopfler
Rosanne Cash
Patti Griffin
Lyle Lovett (sometimes)

Notop,
This is a good followup question to resurrect the original post. I think Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter sound more like the CJs than anyone else does. Dark in mood and tone, featuring Ms. Sykes's moody vocals, Phil Wandscher's reverb heavy guitar, and sparse instrumentation, they have often been categorized as "goth country" or "country noir". I'd suggest checking out their earlier releases Reckless Burning or Oh, My Girl.

Seconding JS&TSH. I agree they recall somewhat CJs space folk -- though edgier. I favor Reckless Burning over Oh, My Girl.

Wonder if Hope Sandoval and Mazzy Star are in the vicinity?

I like Mazzy Starr but think they are a bit 'POP' compared to Cowboy Junkies

fwiw
