Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand

Hey there 'Goners

H, my name is Andrew and I'm a Junkies-aholic. I need a little support from the group if you could be so kind. As a confirmed though never-to-recover Cowboy Junkies fan, I too often find the CJ's playing. My GF is gonna hijack my CD's and my iPod soon and do a little shuffling of her own. Without the thread going too far off course or getting too far from my professed comfort zone, any suggestions on expanding my musical horizons?

Thanks much!

Go to (or google) "Pandora" music site. Plug in your fav group's name. They will PLAY stuff that is similar to your group. nearly endlessly.
You can hear more stuff you never heard that fits your target group.

I third the Be Good Tanyas - but suggest "Blue Horse" album. Also Neko Case - "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood".
Going way back, try some of the remastered versions of early Jefferson Airplane.

I'll second the recommendation for the Great Lake Swimmers, especially their older recordings. Also check out The Low Anthem. Listening to Pandora will also provide many, many more similar artists.

I'll second the Over the Rhine recommendation - get the "Ohio" album (available on vinyl from their website) you won't regret it!
Also, Madeleine Payroux's latest "Bare Bones" is excellent, she has many of those same smoky qualities to her voice as our beloved Margo.

Absolutely..."Ohio" is great. Also by them, if you can find it (some used copies are at the link), "Good Dog, Bad Dog" is outstanding!
