Waltz is a wonderful album. The version of five room is one of the best songs I've ever heard. These last two albums have that laid back 'Lava Lamp' sound that I haven't really heard (as much) in the last few years. Songs like Walking After Midnight, Postcard Blues, and Me and the Devil. All of their albums are pretty good, but there was a little bit of a 'commercial' sense that had crept into some of their recent albums. I felt like a couple of 'radio friendly' tracks had been thrown into them. These new albums are more esoteric, and sound more like 'their songs'. Opinions ? Thoughts ? (don't want to be anti-capitalistic)
Cowboy Junkies fans........
I know a lot of Audiogon members are Cowboy Junkies fans so I thought I'd put out this notice. The Cowboy Junkies new CD "Waltz Across America" is out and is excellent. The recording is Live, very good, and has some great new songs-- although a couple are pretty far out for me. If you've got a decent system, you'll think Margo Timmins is in your listening room. Highly recommended. Cheers. Craig.
