Cowboy Junkie Fans

To my friend Craig and other posters above:

I think that those who have read my posts over the past 2+ years will agree that my listening tastes are pretty catholic. So, please take this question in the spirit it is asked: what SPECIFICALLY do you find interesting about Cowboy Junkie's music?

I am not asking this question to antagonize anyone -- I really am curious and want to know what engages you about their music. I owned a copy of the original LP release of The Trinity Sessions -- purchased after the first rave reviews in one of the audio mags in the late 1980's -- and eventually gave the LP away because it failed to appeal to me in any way.

So, as Joan Rivers used to say: can we talk? What elements of this group's music seems to appeal to so many?

Thanks, guys, for the thoughtful and considered responses. I fully understand how some artists and certain performances can really "grab" you, while others don't. Given that music involves an emotional response, I guess that's to be expected. Thanks for taking the time to share your points of view -- maybe I should take the time to listen to some of the other recordings by the Junkies.

Best to everyone - Scott C.
