Love the Cowboy Junkies and have seen them in concert a couple of times. Along with good selections above, I'd highly recommend Over the Rhine, The Innocence Mission (used to open for TCJ), perhaps Gillian Welch if you like to push it a bit towards country/folk/roots stuff...hmmm, maybe The Be Good Tanyas and Po'Girl (also Candadian bands)...Beth Orton, Lucinda Williams, early Trespassers William (Anchor).
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!

I'll second the Over the Rhine recommendation - get the "Ohio" album (available on vinyl from their website) you won't regret it! 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! |
Oh, and then theres the guy side of things. Add to the top of your list for the guy side of things that fits your tastes: Alexi Murdoch "Time Without Consequence" (stunning debut) Also among current favorites that might fit the bill, in no particular order: William Fitzsimmons Damien Jurado (can get pretty dark) 16 Horsepower - In this tangent, just the CD "Folklore" Bonny Prince Billy Antony and the Johnsons |
