Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend....

I bought the latest Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and Cowboy Junkies, Lay It Down and Black Eyed Man. Ever since I started on this path of improving my sound system I have been on this quest to expand my musical taste. I had heard lots of good things about Wilco and numerous things about Cowboy Junkies.

Anyway, I put on Lay It Down and Margo Timmons, that voice, she does something to me. Next, I put on the Wilco CD. It had a Beatles meets Roger Waters meets the Beach Boys meets Lou Reed kind of thing happening. Then I put on Cowboy Junkies' Black Eyed Man and that voice, she drives me crazy.

So, I spent my weekend between Cowboy Junkies and Wilco and I think I am going to get alot more of Cowboy Junkies, but I am not sure I understand Wilco. I went online to read some reviews about Wilco and according to what I read, they are the next coming of something, but what? I think I am missing something, but they are still new to me.

I love Cowboy Junkies music because of Margo Timmins haunting yet sensual voice-- especially on their many ballads, and also because of their unusual but very engaging band work. I also really admire Michael Timmins' guitar playing-- and he writes much of their music. I've been a 'Junkies fan for years and still can't "classify" their music.

For a different side of the Cowboy Junkies, try "Waltz Across America". Cheers. Craig
